\"New<\/p>\n

The New Year’s Day races around the UK and Ireland mark the end of a busy festive period in the sport. There are eight National Hunt horse racing meetings in the British Isles on 1 January, plus an All-Weather Flat card.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is an awful lot, second only to Boxing Day the previous week in terms of fixture congestion. Perhaps the best-known New Year’s Day races are at Cheltenham, but it is also worth looking beyond Prestbury Park for fascinating contests.<\/p>\n

With cards in Scotland and Ireland, as well as meetings in Devon, Norfolk, the Midlands and Yorkshire, the action comes thick and fast. We asked our horse racing experts for some of their highlights from around the tracks.<\/p>\n
