Flat racing is the only type of horse racing to take place at Thirsk, and the most notable race of the season is the Thirsk Hunt Cup, a handicap run over a mile in early summer. The Thirsk Hunt Cup was won by Godolphin’s Farhh in 2012, and was that horse’s last start in handicaps before he made a very successful step up to group level, eventually winning the Lockinge and the Champion Stakes at Group 1 level, having chased home Frankel in the likes of the Juddmonte International at York prior to that.
The Thirsk round course is a left-handed, oval track, just over a mile and a quarter in extent, with a run-in of half a mile. There is a straight six-furlong course, which is slightly undulating throughout. The round course itself is almost perfectly flat, but though the turns are relatively easy and the ground well levelled all round, the track is on the sharp side and by no means ideal for a horse that requires time to settle down, and time and space to get down to work in the straight. A high draw over seven furlongs and a mile has been an advantage in recent times.
