One might expect the Cheltenham Festival to be about art, music or books, but no this is a festival of horse races spanning 4 days, this year starting 16th March. This definitive race meeting of the National Hunt Season has been taking place since 1902.

For those of us who don’t follow the gee-gees, these races are over hurdles, rather than on the flat. The highlight is the Gold Cup, which is second only to the Aintree Grand National in attracting interest, and bets, from the general non-race going public.
