Wincanton Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located in Wincanton, Somerset, England. The steeplechase fences are large, making it a good test of a chaser. Three fences in quick succession in the second half of the home-straight make for exciting racing and often change the complexion of a finish dramatically; resulting in a great many close finishes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wincanton )〕 The track stages several big races, including the Kingwell Hurdle in February. The CGA Chase (previously the Jim Ford Challenge Cup, last run in 2012) was run on the same day; these races were significant trials for the Champion Hurdle and Cheltenham Gold Cup respectively. Several of the races at the course are shown on Channel 4. The track is located near to the yard of the trainer, Paul Nicholls and as such many of his promising young horses run here.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wincanton )〕 During the year to 2008, the course had the second highest casualty rate in the country, with 9 deaths. 〔 〕 ==Notable races== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wincanton Racecourse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
