ITV Racing Set To Host 21 Races Across First Weekend Of Racing

ITV Racing is set to return with a bang next week as the broadcaster will show 21 live races across next Friday, Saturday and Sunday's Group one cards from Newmarket, Lingfield and Haydock.

This will be the channel's first live raceday back since a behind-closed-doors fixture at Thurles on March 21 and they are looking to start off with a bang with seven live races on each of three days.

Ed Chamberlain will be at the head of operations alongside co host Francesca Cumani and also ex jockey and now racing expert Jason Weaver.

The three broadcasters will be streaming live from home with race commentator Richard Hoiles also not based at the track and calling the races from home.

along with the live racing returning in the afternoons, the Opening show will also be back on the Saturday with the usual suspects Weaver, Hoiles and Matt Chapman all giving their expertise on the days racing ahead.
