After two decades, jumps racing returned back here in Berkshire at Royal Windsor Racecourse. Ma Shantou saw in the first win in 20 years with Harry Cobden in the saddle for a delighted Emma Lavelle. Following it's December 2024 return, the inaugural Berkshire Winter Million, in partnership with our neighbours Ascot, took place in January 2025 which saw a combined 13,170 racegoers enjoy 3 days of top-class Jumps racing worth £1.2m prize money.
Feel you missed out on the huge occasion? Don't fret! Our next Jumps fixture will take place on Sunday 23rd November and the Berkshire Winter Million will return in January 2026.
Our grounds team have been working hard to develop new areas of the track to offer an optimal configuration of jumps racing. It will utilise dormant turfed areas which are being brought up to a racing standard. Runners will take a continuous left-handed circuit, instead of the previous figure of eight.
The jumps season will host it's first fixture on Sunday 15th December 2024, with further dates to be confirmed in 2025. We will continue to run our flat season April-October, including Monday Night Racing and feature Saturdays.
