Horse racing fans will be glued to their TV’s or mobile phones on Boxing Day as after a two-day lull in action the racing returns with a bang at Kempton. But just what time is the King George Chase 2023 – the main betting contest over the festive period?
The King George Chase Is Always Run On Boxing Day
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.
Where hardened horse racing fans and the more ‘once-a-year’ Christmas punters come together to try and hunt out the King George winner and get their festive expenses paid for.
12 months ago we saw the Paul Nicholls-trained Bravemansgame win the Kempton race for jockey Harry Cobden. A win that provided Nicholls his 13th success in the King George. No other trainer has won the race more times.
