Musselburgh Racecourse is excited to announce that Virgin Bet will return as the title sponsor for two major events in 2025 – New Year’s Day and Easter Saturday.

These celebrated racedays are central to Musselburgh’s “Sensational 6” – the racecourse’s biggest and best racedays across the year.

In addition to Virgin Bet, the partnership also extends to fellow LiveScore Group brand, LiveScore Bet.

The 1 January New Year’s Day Raceday is an annual sell-out that draws over 6,000 racing fans across Scotland. The event promises spectacular Jump racing action, including the £40,000 Auld Reekie Handicap Chase and the £30,000 Hogmaneigh Hurdle, as part of a programme worth over £100,000.

Virgin Bet will also headline the Easter Saturday Raceday, held on 19 April. This event will feature the prestigious £100,000 Queen’s Cup and Scotland’s fastest race, the Scottish Sprint Cup, attracting top horses, trainers, and jockeys to the East Lothian course.

As part of the sponsorship, Virgin Bet’s Personal Safety Partner, WalkSafe, will be integrated into the racedays.

Founded in 2020, WalkSafe was developed to give the public as much information about their surroundings as possible. The app, WalkSafe+, enables users to plan the safest route home, along with a host of additional features to help ensure a safer experience for all.
