The Opening Day
Join us for the opening day of the Betfair Tingle Creek Festival when two days of top class Jump racing kicks off with a pulsating six-race card, headlined by the Grade Two Winter Novices’ Hurdle over two and a half miles. Often seen as an early season pointer for the Cheltenham Festival, the race more often than not produces a smart winner to follow for future campaigns.

The Betfair Tingle Creek Chase
If you're looking for world-class Jump racing with a big splash of festive cheer then look no further than Betfair Tingle Creek Saturday! Sandown Park comes alive with festive cheer as we bring gift giving, carol singing, decorations and, of course, world-class Grade 1 Jump racing to Esher. On the track you can look forward to two Grade 1s - the feature race of the meeting, Betfair Tingle Creek Chase and also the Henry VIII Novice Chase. Can anyone de-throne the mighty Jonbon this year or will he add to his long list of Sandown Park Grade 1 wins.
