As usual, Sunday, 13 October is slightly less packed with events than the weekdays. Yet, it offers a variety of both flat and jump races to the race enthusiasts who are ready to immerse themselves into the cultural gathering that is a race day.
With the history of horse racing in Great Britain dating as far back as the 12th century and Henry II Plantagenet, it comes as no surprise that it isn’t only one of the world’s oldest established sports but also a significant part of the sport and economical life of the country.
Let’s take a look at the races that have been announced for Sunday, 13 October, closing the weekend events.
