Racing into Spring

April’s fixtures bring longer days and brighter skies, the perfect backdrop for heart-pounding action over fences and hurdles.

With several exciting cards on offer, it’s a brilliant way to celebrate the season, embrace the atmosphere, and witness jumps racing at its finest.

Jump into the Action

Jumps racing on turf is one of the most exhilarating spectacles in sport, combining courage, stamina, and skill. Unlike flat racing, horses tackle a series of fences and hurdles, demanding agility and bravery with every stride.

Turf Thrills

Turf races offers lush green grass providing a natural stage, where galloping thoroughbreds test their power and endurance across challenging distances. Each leap carries risk and reward, thrilling spectators as jockeys guide their mounts with precision and determination. From steady novices learning their craft to seasoned champions soaring to victory, national hunt racing captures the drama of competition and the timeless partnership between horse and rider. Don’t miss out on a jam-packed afternoon of exhilarating races this afternoon.
