Horse racing will make its eagerly-anticipated comeback at Newcastle today – and talkSPORT 2 will bring you all the action live.
Racing will become the first major sport to resume in Britain following the coronavirus shutdown after the Government gave it the green light to get going again behind closed doors.
Meetings were last held on March 17, when Wetherby and Taunton were in action behind closed doors, before racing was brought to an immediate halt due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
We’ve brought you live racing from Hong Kong during the lockdown but now starved UK fans can enjoy some top-class meets from closer to home.
Each day this week we will have a mammoth feast of action from around the country on talkSPORT 2 – starting with coverage from Newcastle today from 12pm.
