This Saturday (18th July 2026) we’ve another busy day of LIVE ITV Racing with the cameras heading to Ripon, Market Rasen and Newbury to take in seven races across the three venues.
At Market Rasen over the sticks it’s their biggest day of the season with the Summer Plate Chase (2:45) and Summer Handicap Hurdle (2.10) the feature contests.
Then at Newbury, the Group Three Hackwood Stakes (3:02) tops the bill – a race 18 of the last 22 winners were aged 5 or younger.
While the Irish Oaks (4.35) at the Curragh is another big race on the day (not on ITV) – a contest trainer Aidan O’Brien has another strong hand in as he looks for win number nine.
Like all big race days, here at SUREWIN we’ve got the LIVE races covered with key trends and stats – use these to whittle down the runners and find the best profile of past winners.
