In addition, the big festivals are aired mid-week so you never have to miss the best action. There are two dedicated satellite channels in the UK – At The Races (Sky 415/Virgin 535) and Racing UK (Sky 432/Freeview 231) – that cover live racing worldwide.

Follow the live action by streaming the horse racing with your preferred bookmaker. Most firms give you the option of watching your races live after you’ve placed your bets, providing the stake is more than a given amount.
