There are so many stakes and conditions races in the UK including the popular listed class.
The listed class is a horse race at a level just below the Group level. Listed horse races are three tiers of the highest-rated horse racing events. The racehorses run off level weights unless receiving a weight allowance for a 3yo racing against older horses or carrying a penalty for previous success.
The top-rated horse racing trainers and jockeys fight out in listed races throughout the year in the UK.
No minimum official rating is required to run in a Listed race but, nonetheless Listed races are considered more prestigious than premier handicap races.
In our listed class horse racing guide, we will list everything you need to know about the biggest and best listed graded stakes horse races.
