Towcester Racecourse Towcester Racecourse was a horse racing course at Towcester (pronounced “Toh-ster”) in Northamptonshire. It hosted National Hunt racing race meetings (over jumps) in the Winter months. A greyhound racing track was opened in 2014 and staged the English Greyhound Derby until 2018. The course went into administration in August 2018 and the future of horse racing at the venue became uncertain. In October 2019 it was announced that the course would not reopen following over 12 months in administration.
