A FRESH START

 

The bet365 Craven Meeting bursts onto the scene, injecting a burst of energy into Newmarket’s Rowley Mile racecourse.

 

Feel the excitement as horses charge down the track, the air buzzing with the sound of thundering hooves and enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.

 

The 2025 Craven Meeting will have a slightly revised Order of Running, due to changes in the ITV Racing schedule.


The Group 3 bet365 Earl of Sefton Stakes and Group 3 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes will take place on Tuesday 15 April, with the Group 3 bet365 Craven Stakes and Group 3 Connaught Access Flooring Abernant Stakes now taking place on Wednesday 16 April. The highlight on day three, Thursday 17 April, is the British EBF Conditions Stakes.

 

Established in 1771, this three-day extravaganza delivers a thrilling kick-off to the flat racing season, captivating both new fans and seasoned enthusiasts alike.

 

Watch in awe as these majestic athletes, some making their debut this year, compete for glory, providing valuable insights into the upcoming months of racing.

 

Don’t forget, U18s go free all three days of the bet365 Craven Meeting with free entertainment on offer!
