The ITV horse racing cameras are at Haydock and Musselburgh this Saturday to take in SEVEN LIVE races across the two venues.
At Haydock the Challenger Two Mile Hurdle Series Final Handicap at 2:05pm is one of the features.
While at Musselburgh there are four LIVE ITV races – that include the Queen’s Cup Handicap over 1m6f – a race Wise Eagle won in 2023 and is back for more in 2026.
As always, here at SUREWIN we’ve got all the key trends and stats for each of the LIVE ITV Racing contests.
