🏇What is Racing League All About?🏇

Think similar to Formula 1, but for horse racing. Seven teams - regionally based. Six action-filled race weeks, with Thursday being the night of racing. A total of 42 high-stakes races across a number of UK racecourses. Each event is more than just sport - it's a show of regional pride, strategy, and skill. After Wales & The West 's big win in 2024, all eyes are on the early racing league standings.

Each team is headed-up by a captain - a well-known personality in the industry! 2024 captain's include Group-one winning trainer Jamie Osborne, TV presenter Mick Quinn and Love Island star Chris Hughes - so expect lighthearted competitiveness and banter between each team!

Newcastle is your chance to see which team comes out strong in this year's battle for the crown.

This is a Premier Racing Fixture

Featuring the best of the best. This fixture is one of the 162 Premier Racedays across British horseracing that showcase the best quality racing in the sport. Expect to see high-quality racing!
