The bet365 Scottish Cheltenham Trials Raceday

Sunday 2nd February 2025

The build up to Cheltenham and The Grand National Festivals starts here. This fixture is the pinnacle of the jumps season at Musselburgh Racecourse and is assured to draw the UK's top trainers with more than £400,000 on offer.

Sunday features the £80,000 bet365 Scottish Champion Handicap Chase and the Listed £40,000 bet365 Scottish Triumph Hurdle Trial. We attract contenders for The Cheltenham and The Grand National Festivals. The BIGGEST Cheltenham Trials Weekend in the UK!​ 

Previously, we have seen runners go onto win at the big festivals including Frodon, Seeyouatmidnight, Mighty Thunder and Greanateen. We have also welcomed Paul Nicholls, Lucinda Russell, Fergal O'Brien and Sandy Thomson.

An excellent atmosphere, a great choice of places to eat and drink and the perfect way to see some of the country's top owners, trainers, jockeys and horses in action. A must for all Jumps Racing fans.

On Sunday 2nd February, we are thrilled to be able to welcome students from Edinburgh and St Andrews to give them a taste of jump racing.
