THE BETMGM HALDON GOLD CUP
WEST COUNTRY WEEKEND DAY ONE
The BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup Day has moved! This year, the race will be run on Friday 8 November and forms part of a blockbuster weekend in the West Country with Wincanton's popular Badger Beers Chase the following day.
We’re calling this the West Country Weekend – and there’s no other event like it. Two days of world class racing across two of the finest racecourses - at Exeter on 8th November and Wincanton on 9th November. A weekend ticket is available and you can save £17 when you purchase a weekend ticket, compared to purchasing them individually!
On day 1, come and join us as we go for gold on Devon’s richest raceday at Exeter Racecourse – Haldon Gold Cup Day!
Elixir De Nutz, Greaneteen, Best Mate, Edredon Bleu, Cue Card and Politologue are just some of the big names to win the Haldon Gold Cup in recent years, but who will be next?
Don't miss the legendary Gold Cup Winner, Native River - in the parade ring at 12pm! Come and see him up close and hear about his racing highlights.
