Cheltenham Festival ends with a bang as the Gold Cup Day race schedule is filled with much-anticipated events and competitions. The highlight of the day is the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup – one of the most prestigious events in the racing calendar. Alongside this main event, there are six other races to watch and bet upon which all take place during the afternoon.
The Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup is the Festival event that every owner and jockey wants to win. The game has been part of the Cheltenham Friday schedule for many years, and has continued to grow in popularity ever since its introduction. It is a title held in high regard, as many consider the competition to be a significant event in the horse racing season.
There are a number of other important races taking place on the Cheltenham Gold Cup race schedule. The JCB Triumph Hurdle is a cavalry race for horses aged four years old. Historically, those who have already had a lengthy career on the flat or are French-trained are more likely to win. On the Cheltenham Gold Cup Day race schedule, there is also the Vincent O’Brien County Hurdle which is a fast and competitive race. It can have some unexpected outcomes during the run along the home straight, so don’t despair if your horse isn’t in the lead from the offset.
