Newmarket racehorses on the gallops as racing returns.

Picture shows jockeys and racehorses out on the Newmarket gallops in Suffolk at the weekend (May 30) as they prepare for the return to horse racing on Monday after the Coronavirus lockdown.

Newcastle will be the first British racecourse to host fixtures when racing resumes on Monday.

Racing in Britain has been suspended since 17 March because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) said "the long break is nearly over" and that it was "counting down the hours to the return of racing".

A 10-race fixture is planned for Newcastle's all-weather track.

Flat racing's first two Classics, the 2,000 Guineas and 1,000 Guineas, are scheduled to be held at Newmarket on 6 and 7 June.
