The diary

The circuit diary

48 fixtures in the diary, 21 of them with a card published in full. Every date resolves against the circuit clock when the page is served.

  • 48Fixtures listed
  • 21Cards published
  • 10Venues
  • 1,626Races a day

The ten venues draw about 1,626 races a day between them, one every two to ten minutes depending on the track and the slot. Nothing like that number gets written up, and pretending otherwise would be the easiest lie on the site. The desk cards the features, a sample of the graded races and the trials worth a look, and leaves the rest of the cycle to the screens.

So this page does two jobs. It is the diary of what Gallop Post is covering — day by day, with the time, the venue, the code, the class and the distance — and it says which of those fixtures has a card published in full and which is only a date so far. A fixture marked card not published has no field, no weighting table and no seed on this site yet, and no link that pretends it does.

Dates are offsets, not fixed days: the published programme repeats on the circuit clock, which reads 25 October 2026 as this page is served.
