Prix de l’Arc de Trimphe – Paris, France. One of the world’s richest races at 4 Million Euro’s ($4.7. From the Cheltenham Festival to Royal Ascot there are countless huge meetings on the UK horse racing calendar and here we take a look at the 20 biggest single races in the UK. We’ve opted for 10 flat and 10 jump races, whilst we’ve also thrown in a bonus five of the biggest global horse races too. Results of enquiries (Neil Mulholland and John Jenkins) heard by the Disciplinary Panel on 19 January Neil Mulholland 1. The Disciplinary Panel of the British Horseracing Authority on 19 January 2017 held an enquiry to establish whether or not Neil Mulholland, a licensed trainer, had committed.

Horse racing – flat and jumps – is a huge sporting tradition in the UK and across the world.

Featuring the English Classics and Grand Nationals to the Gold Cups and the Derby, the British racing calendar is action-packed throughout the year. In 2021 a new event – the Racing League – will also feature on the calendar.

From Ayr to Ascot and Dubai to Melbourne, we look at the major horse races and events taking place in 2021.
