The Biggest Events

1. An early event that all horse racing fans are going to keep an eye out for is the Dubai World Cup. This will be one of the first large events that you can expect to follow, as it is due to happen in March. It is the world’s richest raceday, so it’s often a great opportunity to place a bet on your preferred mobile sports betting app. One of the highlights is bound to be the ten-furlong race.
2. There is no year in horse racing where the Grand National is not going to be a big one to look out for, and 2020 looks like it will be exactly the same. You already know that this attracts one of the biggest audiences in the world, and for the avid better that means some fantastic chances to take a punt.
3. Royal Ascot is a big one in the calendar for anyone looking to place a few bets on a sports betting app, and in 2020 it is going to be just that. This five-day meeting is always a huge highlight in the UK, with plenty of Group 1 races to look forward to.
4. One of the world championships that are likely to be particularly popular and worth keeping an eye on in the second half of the year is the Breeders’ Cup Classic, which is known to be a main target of some of the world’s top trainers. It’s one to look out for if you are keen on keeping on top of the horse racing in 2020.
5. The Melbourne Cup is the single most famous horse racing event in Australia, and in 2020 it will be as worthy of a look as any of the others.
6. Of course, no such list could be considered complete without at least mentioning Newmarket, the October competition which draws in a lot of talent - and a lot of betting.
