Record Jackpot expected at Newmarket A record Jackpot pool of up to £2.5 million is expected to be reached at Newmarket this afternoon. Yesterday's pool of £1,262,151.75 was not won and Tote officials are expecting a record pool to be recorded this afternoon. The Jackpot in the UK is different to its Irish equivalent in that patrons must pick the winner of the first six races on the card.
