Champions Day 2020 Races, ITV Races and Highlights

In Matched Betting, anytime a big day or festival for horse racing comes up it’s always useful to know the schedule for the day, which races will be shown on ITV and which races are considered to be the ‘highlight’ races.

Although the bookmakers often run suitable offers for us to profit from throughout the day many have a tendency to focus their very best offers on the first ITV race of the day or on the ‘highlight’ race(s) of the day.
