About Horse Racing

Horse racing is one of the oldest sports in the world. In Britain and Ireland it is split into two main codes: Flat racing, run on level ground without obstacles, and National Hunt (jump) racing, over hurdles and fences.

The sport's biggest meetings include the Cheltenham Festival, the Grand National at Aintree, Royal Ascot and the Epsom Derby. In the United States, the Triple Crown races are the most famous.

When is the Grand National?

The Grand National is run at Aintree, near Liverpool, in April. It is one of the most famous jump races in the world.

What is the Cheltenham Festival?

The biggest meeting in jump racing, held over four days in March. Its highlight is the Cheltenham Gold Cup on the final day.

What is Royal Ascot?

A five-day Flat racing meeting held at Ascot every June. It is attended by the Royal Family and features some of the world's best horses.

What is the US Triple Crown?

Three races for three-year-old horses: the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. Winning all three in one year is one of racing's hardest achievements.
