The clocks have gone forward and summer is on the way so there’s only one thing for it… Flat racing!
An action-packed season is on the way, with plenty of huge races set to be contested including the prestigious meeting at Royal Ascot.
The British Classics are back – the 2000 and 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, the Oaks and Derby at Epsom and the St Leger at Doncaster – as are their Irish equivalents.
The latest horse racing odds are on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise, a calendar with dates of all the major Flat fixtures and key races can be found below.
