Thousands of Horse Racing fans are expected to descend on Hereford Racecourse this afternoon, for the annual Christmas Jumper Raceday!

There promises to be some fantastic racing, with some of the UK’s top trainers and jockeys taking part in the racecard.

A precautionary track inspection will take place early this morning, after a hard overnight frost, but it’s expected that the frost covers will have done their job and that racing will be given the green light.

The team at Hereford Racecourse has worked hard throughout this week to prepare the course ahead of the cold weather, with the Christmas Jumper Raceday being one of the most popular race days of the calendar year.
