Musselburgh Racecourse has revealed that Virgin Bet will return as the title sponsor for two major racing events in 2026: the New Year's Day and Easter Saturday Racedays. These key events, both included in Musselburgh's renowned "Sensational 6," are set to deliver high-quality racing and exciting vibes for race fans throughout Scotland.
Virgin Bet's sponsorship begins on January 1st with the much-loved New Year's Day Raceday, an event that attracts more than 6,000 attendees. Famous for its thrilling Jump racing, this occasion features high-stakes races like the £40,000 Auld Reekie Handicap Chase and the £30,000 Hogmaneigh Hurdle, showcasing some of the best horses, jockeys, and trainers in the UK.
The thrill carries on into Easter Saturday, February 19th, with another fan favorite: the Easter Saturday Raceday. This event features the £100,000 Queen's Cup and Scottish Sprint Cup, Scotland's swiftest race, drawing top racing talent from all over the UK. Virgin Bet's sponsorship adds to the festive spirit, making it an event that racing fans simply cannot miss.
A special feature this year is the WalkSafe app, part of Virgin Bet's “Good Bet” initiative. WalkSafe, a personal safety app, is designed to provide racegoers with important safety information, assisting them in getting home securely. Attendees can check out the app's features, including route planning and real-time updates, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable outing.
This collaboration with Virgin Bet and LiveScore Bet highlights Musselburgh Racecourse's commitment to outstanding racing experiences, bringing fans together for the best racing events in Scotland.
