Jumps Racing since its Windsor return!

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. We now have 4 fixtures for the 2026/7 season including the Autumn Beer Festival Raceday Saturday 14th November, New Years Day Racing 1st January, and the Berkshire Winter Million in collaboration with Ascot Racecourse 22-24th January 2027. This racing festival features 3 days of top-class Jumps Racing worth £1.25m prize money.

Feel you missed out on the huge occasion? The Berkshire Winter Million Racing Festival will return in January 2027 and tickets are available to buy now.

The Figure of Eight is Back Again!

After the return of Jumps at Royal Windsor Racecourse was run round an oval course in 2024/5, the decision was made to use the traditional figure of eight track instead in the 2025/6 season. 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 2026/7 jumps season will host it's first fixture on Saturday 14th November 2026, 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 May-September, including Monday Night Racing and feature Saturdays.
