Wincanton Racecard - Saturday 14th February by Weatherbys

Where future Champion Hurdle winners shine and the dogs steal a little of the spotlight too!

SATURDAY 14 FEBRUARY 2026

The Jockey Club would like to thank our Group Partners for their support in 2026

WELCOME TO

Welcome to Wincanton Racecourse.

Welcome to BetMGM Kingwell Hurdle Day at Wincanton, one of the true highlights of the National Hunt season. Today’s card is headlined by the Grade 2 Kingwell Hurdle, a race that proved the perfect stepping stone to Champion Hurdle success last season, for last years winner Golden Ace. An excellent eight-race programme awaits, including the Agatha Christie Listed Mares’ Novices’ Chase, a welcome addition to the card and a race won last year by the Irish raider Only By Night

Away from the track action, there’s plenty to enjoy throughout the day. Dog classes and fun dog races will be taking place on the course, be sure to check the racecard for timings, while a selection of tradestands located between the Kingwell Building and the Stalbridge Bar offer something extra to browse between races.

As always, thank you for supporting racing at Wincanton. We hope you have a fantastic day and we look forward to welcoming you back on Wednesday 25 February for our next ﬁxture

Many Thanks,

Blaithin Murphy General Manager

Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

‘To win’ is for your horse to come ﬁrst.

‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come ﬁrst or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.

PLAY SMARTER

Heavy-ground bumper winner MARHABA PRINCE wasn’t foot perfect on his Sedgeﬁeld hurdles debut but should have learnt plenty from that and is taken to score. Full Force Gale and The Egyptian Ginge may provide the chief threat.

SAINT CYR DE PAIL handled similar conditions well when winning in good style at Exeter 2 months ago and is open to further improvement in this sphere. Mutley Crew impressed with her jumping when scoring overC&D 16 days ago and looks the obvious threat. Bonza Boy goes well in the mud so also has claims.
