With horse racing shutting down for a few days over New Year’s Eve and Christmas Day, equine lovers will be chomping at the bit come Boxing Day.

The good news is – weather permitting – the horse racing action returns and it returns with a bang with the two-day Kempton Christmas Festival.

This popular meeting gets going on Boxing Day, which in 2023 falls on Tuesday 26th December and will run through till Wednesday 27th.

It’s the King George VI Chase that spearheads the meeting, with this well-known 3m Grade One race being run on Boxing Day.
