Ben Case, a dual-purpose trainer based at Wardington Gate Farm, on the beautiful Edgcote Estate 5 miles north of Banbury, Oxfordshire.

Ben trains his horses on the outstanding Edgcote Gallops, consisting of the impressive newly built 980m circular gallop and a 1 mile round canter track and a 6 furlong hill gallop.

The Andrews Bowen Team have fully constructed the new 980m Gallop, surfaced with the BHA Approved SafeTrack surface. Giving a consistent and highly durable footing, which is designed to provide support, stability and cushion for horses during strenuous exercise. Installed on training gallops and racecourses around the world, SafeTrack has proven to be a reliable and most importantly, a Safe surface for horses to train on.

“We are delighted with our new top quality SafeTrack 5-furlong all-weather gallop which was completed to a very high standard by Andrews Bowen, and sits alongside the Hill gallop. It rides fantastically well and will be a huge benefit to our training regime. We are already looking forward to producing plenty more winners in the future.” Ben & Sarah Case

Update during the build:
