This day, steeped in history, will bring impressive military displays and traditions to racing including regimental music and marches after the Military Hurdle and Grand Military Gold Cup races.
The feature race of the day, the Grand Military Gold Cup is a National Hunt Chase open to horses aged five years or older, ran over a distance of 3 miles and ½ furlong. The race is restricted to serving or retired Military Amateur Riders. Ownership of the horses in the race is also limited to serving or ex-serving members of the armed forces.
