During the Second World War the racecourse was handed over to the American Army who used the course as a depot and marshalling yard. Racing did not resume until 1949.

Newbury has strong associations with the Royal family, and its most famous race is the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup, first run in November 1960.

The racecourse has a choice of three restaurants: the Brasserie (no reservations necessary); The Hennessy (serving modern British cuisine); the Racegoers Restaurant (located on the 2nd Grandstand the restaurant provides excellent views of the racetrack)
