Exeter Tips and Racecourse Guide
Race Sharp provides free betting tips for all race meetings at Exeter throughout the National Hunt season.
Located on top of the Haldon Hills, Exeter plays host to 17 National Hunt meetings during the year, with racing taking place between October and April.
With several of the leading National Hunt yards based nearby, Exeter often attracts some of the leading novices, particularly over fences.
The feature race of the year at Exeter is the Haldon Gold Cup, a Grade 2 contest run over 2m1.5f in late October/early November. The race invariably attracts a very strong field and has been won in recent years by the likes of Politologue and Cue Card.
