The Jockey Club Jump Racing Awards

The McCoys, The Jockey Club Jump Racing Awards

 

We'll be celebrated the brilliance of Jump Racing across Jockey Club Racecourses at the Home of Jump Racing – Cheltenham Racecourse on Friday 10 October 2025.

 

As we reflect on the triumphs and the highlights, we leave no stone unturned and our awards appreciate every character in this sport. From the unwavering support of Owners to the often unsung dedication of Stable Staff, The McCoys exist to recognise the individuals without whom this sport would not prosper as it does.

 

A black-tie evening offering the very finest dining experience from our in-house catering team, expect to see both equine and human heroes of the season celebrated as we remind ourselves why Jump Racing across Jockey Club Racecourses provide horsemen and racegoers with the very best action in the UK.

 

More information on the evening will be shared in due course.

 

We are sorry, but this event is not on public sale.
