Sky Sports Racing launched on 1 January 2019, succeeding At The Races. It boasts a stellar presenting team with Alex Hammond, who has spent over 15 years at Sky Sports News, as a full-time lead presenter. Alongside Alex, you can expect to see former Group 1 winning jockey Freddy Tylicki on a regular basis, as well as Josh Apiafi, the former head of the Professional Jockeys Association, and Jamie Lynch, who left his post as Chief Correspondent at Timeform to join the Sky Sports Racing team. The line-up of talent also includes Gina Bryce, Kevin Blake, Matt Chapman, Mick Fitzgerald, Luke Harvey, Hayley Moore and Jason Weaver.
The core daily schedule consists of Raceday Preview – a full look ahead to the day’s action, followed by Raceday Live – showcasing live racing from the UK and around the world, with on-course reporters trackside at every British fixture. Regular programmes include Racing Debate on a Sunday, Get In on a Friday, plus Monday Night Racing, which recaps the weekend’s big talking points from the track alongside live racing coverage.
Sky Sports Racing has the rights to 25 UK racecourses including Ascot, Chester and Doncaster. Internationally the channel has rights to racing from France, Hong Kong, the Melbourne Cup Carnival, US Triple Crown and Breeders’ Cup.
attheraces.com is the digital partner to Sky Sports Racing, with presenters and talent making regular contributions to the site, alongside the online team that includes Hugh Taylor and Kevin Blake. The website and At The Races app form the UK and Ireland’s leading digital platform for horse racing and offers a superb on-demand service of full programmes and race replays, together with a live video subscription option.
