In 2020 the pool prize was just over £200,000 shared by around 40 lucky gamblers, each receiving £3,600.
The home of national hunt racing leads the bonanza of New Year’s Day action in Britain and Ireland, and racegoers will flock to Prestbury Park from around the country to blow away the cobwebs from their partying the night before. The action on the track is sure to be exciting, and who can forget the feature race in 2020, the Paddy Power Handicap Chase, which produced one of the best finishes ever seen at the course, with the Dan Skelton-trained Old Grangewood winning by a nose from Saint Calvados, with Lalor another nose back in third.
