The song played in the background for big race parades is done by Moby and it's called 'Everloving'. It's off Moby's album 'Play'.

Moby - Everloving

The music behind the captions was La Ritournelle by Sebastien Tellier.

Sorry, but that wasn't it. Don't want to turn this into a music show but the piece I was referring to sounded like a very much softer, slowed down version of the second half of this:-

Two tunes very commonly used by Channel 4 are:

Moby Everlong - Its association with fims and horseracing is through the film "Sea Biscuit" as it is the tune used when seas biscuit does his first romp.

Thirteen Senses - Into the fire - they always play this tune in the background on channel 4 racing

Sigur Ros - Hoppilpolla - Another which Im sure I have also heard played on channel four, although it comes up a lot in sports music overs, it is a brilliant tune.

Think I may have heard Arcade Fire - Wake Up on there too.

They also play "The Staunton Lick" by Lemon Jelly as background music a lot.

ironic really that ch4 use the moby track on the race parade, he being a big ambassador for PETA.

the Moby music makes me sad because it always associate it with Gloria Victis....must admit [but don't tell anyone] to liking the Christine Aguillera [?] song that they use sometimes

I know that the Order of Merit music played on-course is "Saltwater" by Chicane ft Maire Brennan - I texted it to Five Live after they'd professed ignorance of the track, but I don't know if it got read on air (I'd got out of the car and squelched onto Hexham's hallowed turf by then).
