Kempton Park Boxing Day Race Times For 26th December 2023

Boxing Day horse racing followers can lock themselves away from the in-laws on Tuesday 26th December with a six race Kempton card that includes the Grade One King George VI Chase.

The first race on Boxing Day at Kempton is at 12:45pm – just enough time for the Christmas Day hangover to have cleared and you can start again.

We then race towards the big race – the King George – with the Kauto Star Novices’ Chase (1:20pm) and then the Christmas Hurdle (1:55pm) and the return of the Champion Hurdler Constitution Hill who also won this race in easy fashion last season.

Nicky Henderson’s star hurdler will be all the rage to win again with the best UK horse racing betting sites and then head to defend his Champion Hurdle title in March at the Cheltenham Festival.

The festive once-a-year horse racing fans will go head-to-head with the more seasoned equine lovers in the King George VI Chase – a race that is a big part of many festive celebrations, whether they follow racing all-year-round, or not.

Last year we saw the Paul Nicholls yard win the race for a remarkable thirteenth time when Bravemansgame did the business and he’ll be back to defend his crown.

The King George VI Chase race time is 2:30pm, so set make sure you plan your Boxing Day around this.
