After two decades, jumps racing returned back here last year 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, then New Year's Day racing returns to Windsor for the first time in 30 years, and the Berkshire Winter Million Racing Festival will return in January 2026.
After the return of Jumps at Royal Windsor Racecourse was run round an oval course last year, the decision was made to use the traditional figure of eight track instead this year. Our grounds team have been working hard to develop new areas of the track and new drainage systems to offer an optimal configuration of jumps racing.
The 2025/6 jumps season will host it's first fixture on Sunday 23rd November 2025, followed by our New Year's Day fixture and the Berkshire Winter Million Racing Festival in mid-January. We will continue to run our flat season April-October, including Monday Night Racing and feature Saturdays.
