Newmarket hosts two opening Classics of flat racing the — 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas. It also serves as the headquarters of the British Horseracing Authority. It’s also the country’s largest thoroughbred training centre that employs about 77 trainers and trains 2,500 racehorses in its facilities around the racecourse.

3. Cheltenham Racecourse

Cheltenham Racecourse is famous for National Hunt racing and is located in Gloucestershire. Each year, it hosts the Cheltenham Festival, which is considered to be the biggest meet in National Hunt racing.

Leopardstown Racecourse in Dublin is one of those racecourses in the country that hosts both National Hunt races and elite thoroughbred races. This race course was set up in 1888. It also hosts the Derrinstown Derby Trial, a primary Derby trial and Irish Champion Stakes. Lexus Chase and Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup are the two high profile National Hunt races conducted on this prestigious racecourse.
