Horse Racing Events You Can Bet On

Cheltenham Festival 2025 (11th - 14th March)

The Cheltenham Festival is the crown jewel of National Hunt racing, attracting the finest horses, trainers, and jockeys from the UK and Ireland. Spanning four thrilling days, this event is a favourite among punters, offering exciting betting opportunities on races like the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, and Queen Mother Champion Chase.

Key Races and Betting Tips:

- Champion Hurdle (Tuesday, 11th March): The opening day's highlight, where top hurdlers compete for glory. Current trends suggest focusing on horses with proven Cheltenham form and recent Grade 1 victories. ​

- Queen Mother Champion Chase (Wednesday, 12th March): A test of speed and agility over fences. Consider horses with strong two-mile chase records and trainers with a history of success in this race. ​

- Stayers' Hurdle (Thursday, 13th March): A stamina-sapping contest over three miles. Look for horses that have demonstrated endurance and consistency over similar distances. ​

- Cheltenham Gold Cup (Friday, 14th March): The festival's blue-riband event. Trends indicate that horses aged seven to nine with previous Cheltenham experience and strong seasonal form are worth considering.

Grand National 2025 (5th April)

The Grand National at Aintree is one of the most bet on sporting events in the UK, drawing millions of viewers and punters. Known for its unpredictable nature, this 4-mile, 30-fence race is a true test of endurance and strategy.

Betting Insights:

Trends: Horses carrying weights between 10st 6lb and 11st 6lb have historically performed well. Additionally, those with proven stamina and experience over long distances are worth noting.​

Tips: Monitor the entries for horses that have shown aptitude over fences similar to Aintree's unique challenges. Staying informed about trainers with a strong Grand National record can also provide valuable insights.

Royal Ascot 2025 (17th - 21st June)

A highlight of the flat racing season, Royal Ascot is synonymous with glamour, elite competition, and high-stakes betting. Featuring races like the Gold Cup, King’s Stand Stakes, and Queen Anne Stakes, this event attracts both professional punters and casual bettors.

Highlights to Watch:

- Queen Anne Stakes: The opening race often features elite milers. Focus on horses with Group 1 experience and a strong turn of foot.​

- Gold Cup: A true test of stamina over two and a half miles. Horses with proven endurance and previous success in long-distance races are prime candidates.​

- Diamond Jubilee Stakes: A sprint that attracts international competitors. Speedsters with consistent performances in top-level sprints should be on your radar.
