Haldon Gold Cup Day at Exeter is Devon’s premier race meeting and everyone who loves great racing, fresh air and being in the thick of the action makes it a date in their diary.

It’s when Haldon Hill is buzzing with excitement at the prospect of some of the country’s very best racehorses vying to add their name to the BetVictor Haldon Gold Cup’s prestigious role call.

This year to add to the excitement, past winners, including Planet of Sound and Medermit, will be parading prior to the race.

The two miles race is fast and furious and spectacular leaps are guaranteed over Exeter’s chase fences. It’s attracted some brilliant racehorses in the past – Edredon Bleu, Best Mate, Viking Flagship and last year’s superb winner Cue Card. It was an exhilarating thrill watching his foot perfect performance and he went on to taste glory at the Cheltenham Festival.

Haldon Gold Cup Day is a time for racegoers to treat themselves. A table booked in the Desert Orchid Restaurant is a fantastic way to relax and enjoy the racing while the Haldon package is great value for money with the chance to enjoy a meal in the Haldon room.
