Salisbury is a Flat Racecourse which means there are no fences to be jumped over.
At Salisbury there will be a mix of race types, but the majority of which are Handicaps and Maidens. A Handicap is basically a race which pitches horses of similar ability against each other, with the highest rated of the runners carrying the highest weight and so on. A Maiden Stakes is a race for horses yet to win a race. This does not necessarily mean they are of poor ability. In fact, far from it, as often the very best horses start their racing careers in Maidens, before going on to greater things.
Salisbury is renowned for being a good course to see very quality horses. Racehorse trainers often run very good 2 year olds here. In recent years, the 2006 Derby winner, Sir Percy, and the 2008 Oaks winner, Look here, both won at Salisbury as two year olds. Going back a bit further, Mill Reef and Brigadier Gerard won here in the 1970s before becoming equine superstars!
Top jockeys often race at Salisbury. Not many people know this but the legendary Lester Piggott made his public debut here at Salisbury in 1948 in an apprentice jockeys race aged 12 and weighing just 5 stone.
