November Handicap Trends 2024

Previously staged at Doncaster racecourse, the November Handicap has now switched to run on the AW at Newcastle. Is still run over a distance of 1m4f though, and, as the race title suggests, is run every November. The event is always run on the last day of Britain’s flat turf racing season – this year run on Saturday 9th November 2024.

Being first run in 1876 the contest was staged in the early days at Manchester and Pontefract racecourses - it was then transferred to Doncaster in 1964 and now Newcastle in 2023.

The race is always a very competitive betting heat, and one the bookmakers have loved in recent years with the favourites having a very poor recent record.

In terms of stables to note - Trainer John Gosden has been the man to follow – he’s landed the prize six times since 1991 and most recently in 2018 as the race was abandoned in 2019 due to a waterlogged track but returned 12 months ago when the Brian Ellison-trained Onesmoothoperator won.

Looking at the recent stats horses drawn in stall 9 or higher have a great recent record but be wary of the market leaders – we’ve only had two winning favourites since 1995!

Here at GeeGeez, we take a look at recent winners of the November Handicap, plus highlights some key trends and stats based to apply to the 2024 running - Sat 9th November.

Note: The November Handicap was staged at Newcastle in 2023
