Racing into Spring🌸

Gear up for a thrilling day of jumps racing this April 2026. With spring in full swing, take in the fresh air and the season’s first warmth as the racecourse comes alive in vibrant colour. April’s fixtures bring longer days and brighter skies, the perfect backdrop for heart-pounding action over fences and hurdles. Cheer on brave horses and skilled jockeys as they soar over each obstacle and battle to the finish, with every leap adding to the drama. 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. From steady novices learning their craft to seasoned champions soaring to victory, jumps racing captures the drama of competition and the timeless partnership between horse and rider.
