2025 Berkshire Winter Million Schedule and ITV Racing Coverage

This week’s Berkshire Winter Million has a new look to it with the fixture being moved from Lingfield to Ascot and Windsor – where jump racing has returned this season.

Berkshire Winter Million 2025: Three Days Of Top Jumping At Ascot and Windsor

With Lingfield’s National Hunt track not always the most reliable in terms of the weather – especially in January – the decision was made last year to switch the lucrative Winter Million card to Berkshire – Windsor and Ascot.

Windsor is more famed for its Monday night flat meetings through the summer months, as jumping ended at the Royal venue back in 1998.

However, the track has got their jumping course back in action this season and staged their first card over the sticks there on Sunday December 14^th to great success.

Jonbon The Star Attraction At Ascot On Saturday

This has paved the way for the Berkshire Winter Millions fixture being their standout jumps meeting of the season as they expect to welcome a big crowd this weekend.

Then sandwiched in between the Windsor action on Friday and Sunday is a top card at Ascot – which will be the middle day of the Berkshire Winter Million meeting.

There will be £1.2m in prize money on offer over the three days.

Ascot’s main race will be the 2025 Grade One Clarence House Chase, which will see the Nicky Henderson-trained Jonbon, who is favourite for the Champion Chase with the best horse racing betting sites in the UK, topping the bill.

He was last in action winning the Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown in December (watch below).

ITV Racing To Show Berkshire Winter Million Races Each Day

The good news for horse racing fans is that the ITV Racing cameras will also covering the Berkshire Winter Million action each day.

On day one ITV Racing will show four races at Windsor (see below), there will be another four at Ascot on Saturday, including the Clarence House Chase.

While on Sunday at Windsor there are also four more ITV Racing contests with the Fleur De Lys Chase one of the big highlights – a race King George VI Chase third L’Homme Presse won 12 months ago.

All the other races at the Berkshire Winter Millions can be seen on Sky Sports Racing.

Over the three days the ITV Racing team will also be showing races from Newcastle, Market Rasen, Haydock and Fakenham – you can see the full weekend coverage here.
