Jumps racing is making a grand comeback to Royal Windsor racecourse after a hiatus of 25 years, promising an exciting three-day event. This famous track, known for its Monday night Flat racing during the summer, will now host National Hunt action, creating a buzz among racing enthusiasts.
A Winter Million Weekend to Remember
To mark the occasion, the £1.2 million Winter Million weekend has been planned. The two-day event at Royal Windsor will replace Lingfield as the host for this thrilling meeting. The highlight of the weekend will be Ascot’s Clarence House Chase card, which was rescheduled, and will take place on Saturday.
A Showcase of Top-Quality Jumpers
On Friday and Sunday, Windsor will welcome top-quality jumpers for the Fleur De Lys Chase, adding to the excitement. This prestigious event was won recently by L’Homme Presse. Racing fans can look forward to a thrilling display of talent and skill as the jumps return to Royal Windsor for the first time since 1998.
An Accessible Three-Day Ticket
For those eager to experience all three days of this memorable event, a three-day ticket covering all the action will be available. It’s a fantastic opportunity for punters to immerse themselves in the electrifying atmosphere and witness the best of jumps racing.
Mark Spincer, Managing Director of ARC’s Racing Division, expressed his delight at the return of jump racing to Royal Windsor, as well as the announcement of the Berkshire Winter Million Weekend. He hopes that this three-day extravaganza, alongside the thrilling racing at Ascot, will create an immensely exciting experience for racing enthusiasts in the New Year.
Changes for Jumps Racing
In preparation for the return of jumps racing, some changes will be made to Windsor’s track. The usual figure-of-eight course will be replaced with a continuous left-handed circuit. These modifications will ensure an improved and safer racing experience for both horses and jockeys.
A Reminder to Gamble Responsibly

Never chase your losses, and avoid gambling when you’re upset, angry, or depressed.
