One of the biggest events in racing is under way, with the eagerly anticipated Cheltenham Festival returning for another year.
The festival, which started on Tuesday, will finish on Friday, March 18 and will showcase seven races every day. Races start at 1:30pm every day, with the final race of each day at 5:30pm. Crowds have returned to the Cheltenham Festival for the first time in two years, with 60,000 people expected to attend the four-day event.
The Gold Cup, set to take place on Friday, is the most hotly-anticipated race, with horses such as Arkle, Best Mate, Golden Miller and Mill House featuring on the steeplechase’s roll of honour. In 2021, horses crossing the line received applause only from the few staff present at the course, but this year, 28 races will take place.
