The last fence has been completely repacked with new birch; should we cut it down to height or leave it as a bullfinch fence do you think?!
The groundstaff are rebuilding the last fence ahead of the 2018/2019 season which kicks off with Cider & Sausage Raceday on Tuesday 16th October #herefordraces #comeracing #groundstaff

We have just had a fantastic day. Great racing, friendly staff and a great atmosphere.
On bahalf of me and my husband Gavin, we’d like to say a huge Thankyou to the staff of the racecourse who made our party as special as it was. Nothing was too much for them. So helpful and accommodating, I would recommend this venue for any occasion. Thankyou guys!��
My first visit to the racecourse today and what a lovely racecourse it is. Suffice to say I definitely intend to come back.
Lovely welcoming racecourse x excellent facilities for young and old x wonderful day out x
Lovely day at Hereford races. Rusty Bridge restaurant package excellent value with very helpful staff; the booking team was also very good. Racing really good despite the going. Only slight criticism is the lack of tarmac on the car park road - would definitely have helped today!
It didn't spoil the day though and we will definitely be back.
Just so good to heave racing back in Hereford. It’s part of our DNA !
I won 2 tickets to the ladys day.me my partner and kids went.we had a fantastic time.thankyou so much
Hooray - it's reopening again! Lots to love about Hereford racecourse.
HEREFORD
The trainers sent the horses
Lads and lasses led them around
The jockeys walked the racecourse
And gave a thumbs up for the ground
We all followed signs for Hereford
Travelled from valleys, vales and hills
Some were dressed in their 'Cheltenham' best
To watch some jumping thrills
We didn't mind the queuing
On that long awaited day
We stood up proud, among the crowd
Six thousand, so they say
I breathed in the smell of racing
It's not one that you forget
Burgers, cigars and perfume
Beery breath and horses sweat
The horses were the heroes
As the punters edged the day
And we'd welcomed back an old friend
As six thousand drove away.
Great to see Hereford racecourse reopen with clearly a lot of thought about how the days racing could be made enjoyable for those attending. Back soon
Fabulous day at Hereford yesterday, great atmosphere with huge crowds who all looked so happy to have racing back at Hereford. Lovely Owners and Trainers bar with great balcony. Well done to you all, epic job very well done, looking forward to future meetings. thank you all.
Excellent venue and racecourse. Also great friendly staff.
A great day spolit by security staff after racing a great sing song going on in the bar with all having a laugh they were heavy handed which was uncalled for will not be attending this racecourse anymore plus probably 50 others get your act together
A fantastic reopening fixture at Hereford after a period of almost 4 years since the final fixture in December 2012.
A huge crowd ensured a great atmosphere and there was even a Cheltenham Festival style roar when the runners set off in the first of the races.
Arena Racing Company and the staff at Hereford have done a fantastic job getting the track and facilities ready for the resumption.
Smashing well organised racecourse with great views of the whole course and all facilities close to hand
The ladies loos need attention as the water pressure isn't high enough to fill the cistern after each flush!
I took the whole family to the Christmas Jumper day meeting in December and had a great time. The course was superb and the atmosphere was great. We picked a couple of winners, which made the day even better. Will be attending again in the near future!!
