Run at Newcastle racecourse over 2 miles the Northumberland Plate is one of the richest staying handicap races in the world.
Formerly known as the ‘Pitmen’s Derby’ the contest was first run in 1833 and being over 2 miles can often attract plenty of horses trained by National Hunt stables, while sponsors Betfair have supported the race now since 2019.
We’ve seen four winning favourites in the last 10 years.
Here at JUICESTORM we take a look back at past winners and highlight the key trends and statistics to look out for when going through the race– this year run on Saturday 25th June 2022
