Horse racing gallops back onto television today – and bookies are expecting a betting frenzy.
It is hoped new fans will tune in to see some or all of the 10 races being run behind closed doors at Newcastle.
Today’s meeting, and a Championship League snooker event from Milton Keynes, are the first sporting events taking place since the lockdown began.
The week will climax with two classics at Newmarket – the 2000 Guineas Stakes on Saturday and the 1,000 Guineas Stakes on Sunday – with no crowds.
Today’s meeting at Newcastle is on Sky At The Races and ITV will be showing 21 races free this weekend.
