Racing Post Chase

The Racing Post Chase is run at Kempton Park racecourse in February. It is a grade 3 National Hunt race for five year old horses and above.

Racing distance is a grueling three miles with eighteen difficult fences for the horses to jump.

It is a handicap race which makes it more competetive from a betting point of view as distributing the weights makes for a more level field.

Some winners here have gone on to victory at the major races at Cheltenham and Aintree and there is always great support for some of the finest horses in the sport today.
