The British horse racing season and calendar keep running as we get into the second week of October. Tuesday will take us to Leicester, as a rare sunny day on the good to soft going track brings us the passion and joy of racing. Fans will be keeping up with the updated numbers and stats on tvg online horse betting, especially after the change of distances for two races. A false rail on the back straight going all the way to the winning line, is responsible for the new distances on THE EVERY DAY LIVE ON RACING TV NURSERY HANDICAP STAKES and THE VISIT racingtv.com HANDICAP STAKES.
The first race of the day kicks off at 1 PM, with THE BRITISH EBF NOVICE STAKES, a Class 4 GBB race. The novice race will be for two-year-olds, with 11 runners gunning for the 10,000 GBP prize money. The field is dominated by colts, with only three geldings on the grid. The distance to cover is 7f. At 1:30 PM, another Class 4 race follows, this time, a division 2 run of THE BRITISH EBF NOVICE STAKES.
