This November, one of the biggest days in the jump racing season is back as the legendary Southern National returns to Fontwell Park. Set on the UK’s only figure-of-eight jumps track, this endurance challenge is the highlight of our National Hunt racing fixtures and promises a thrilling day at the races for fans and families alike.
The Southern National is not just another race – it’s one of the most iconic events in National Hunt racing. Aired live on ITV Racing, this 3 mile 3 furlong test of stamina and determination is an unmissable spectacle for anyone who loves the sport.
Watch as jockeys and horses battle it out in one of the South’s most competitive jump racing events. Previous winners include Tommie Beau (2023) and Slipway (2022), and this year promises more unforgettable moments at Fontwell Park.
Whether you’re a racing enthusiast or simply looking for an exciting Sunday horse racing experience, the Southern National is the ultimate event.
The Southern National isn’t just about the racing – it’s also a brilliant family day out. Alongside the sporting action, enjoy a full day of countryside-themed fun for all ages, including:
🎯 Traditional side stalls and games with Injured Jockey's Fund and Aldingbourne Trust
