A unique partnership between Unibet, The Jockey Club and the BHA, the Unibet Middle Distance Veterans’ Chase Series provides excellent prize money, and more opportunities, for horses aged 10+ who might have found winning chances limited in other valuable races.
In order to qualify for the £100,000 final, a horse must run and finish in the top eight places of one of the seven qualifying races.
The 2026/27 season of the Unibet Middle Distance Veterans’ Chase series sees eight qualifiers, leading towards the £100,000 final at Haydock Park on 27th March which will be broadcast live on ITV.
