A total of 42 high-stakes races across a number of UK racecourses. Each event is more than just sport — it's a show of regional pride, strategy, and skill. After Wales & The West’s big win in 2024, all eyes are on the early racing league standings.
Each team is headed-up by a captain – a well-known personality in the industry! 2024 captain’s include Group-one winning trainer Jamie Osborne, TV presenter Mick Quinn and Love Island star Chris Hughes – so expect lighthearted competitiveness and banter between each team!
