The 2011 Festival witnessed the dawn of a new era when the six year old Long Run ridden by Mr Sam Waley-Cohen defeated past champions Denman and Kauto Star in a superb Gold Cup (the first six year old to win the Gold Cup since Mill House in 1963 and the first amateur ridden winner since Mr Jim Wilson was successful on Little Owl in 1981). The Champion Hurdle and the Queen Mother Champion Chase also heralded new Champions in the form of Irish trained Hurricane Fly and Sizing Europe.

Big Buck’s completed a remarkable three timer in the World Hurdle in what was a truly memorable Festival meeting.

In 2012 Tuesday will stage the 'Stan James Champion Hurdle’; Wednesday, the ‘sportingbet.com Queen Mother Champion Chase’; Thursday the ‘Ladbrokes World Hurdle’ and on Friday the most prestigious Championship race of the Festival the ‘Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup.’

Eventmasters are delighted to offer the very best Viewing Suite within the Official Hospitality Village for all four days of the Festival, from within our exclusive facility Silks@Frontrunners, located directly opposite the final hurdle, with prime viewing from our own individual balcony.
