The Flat season stretches across the summer months, ensuring better weather than National Hunt, and the prize money is significantly better on the level than over the obstacles.

While National Hunt is more parochial, Flat racing is a global sport with prestigious meetings held across Europe as well as in the US, Australia, the Middle East and the Far East.

Owning jumping horses is often a hobby for those involved.

The advent of all-weather tracks means that Flat racing takes place all year round in Britain but traditional Flat racing is run on turf and the season lasts from March to November.

And its major fixtures, such as the Epsom Derby, Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood are not just top-class race meetings but social events in themselves.

The highlight of the National Hunt season is the Cheltenham Festival which takes place in the middle of march for four days every year. This event attracts the top jump horses from the UK and Ireland to compete for all the major races of the festival; the Gold Cup and Champion hurdle being the most famous races. The other major meeting the Grand National meeting takes place in early April for two days Friday / Saturday at Aintree which is highlighted by the worlds most famous race the Grand National over the gruelling four and a half mile course.

The schedule for horse racing in the modern era means that there are lots of meetings with lots of night racing in the summer . With the advent of all weather racing there are many floodlit meetings at Wolverhampton and Kempton Park throughout the winter. Therefore the opportunity for betting is widespread and varied and again with the creation of betting exchanges the chance to bet 'in running' gives the punter more options than ever before.
