A very warm welcome to Huntingdon Racecourse for our Country Themed Raceday.
We’re delighted to have you with us for what promises to be an exciting afternoon of top-quality racing, followed by a fantastic early evening of entertainment. Whether you’re a seasoned racegoer or joining us for the very first time, we’re thrilled to have you here enjoying all that Huntingdon Racecourse has to offer.
Today is all about celebrating country and the countryside spirit, and we’ve got a packed schedule to help you make the most of your day. Alongside the racing action, we’ve lined up a wide range of family-friendly activities across the racecourse—so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

BETTING EXPLAINED
Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number
Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.
‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.
‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.
Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.
Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.
Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.
