Guide
Cheltenham Festival Day Guides
The Cheltenham Festival is the pinnacle of National Hunt Racing and takes place across four magnificent days in the shadow of Cleeve Hill. Below we have given you a guide to St Patrick’s Thursday including the big races.
Cheltenham St Patrick’s Day
Thursday will give you the chance to celebrate St Patrick’s Day early with Cheltenham Festival hospitality. This is the big day for The Sun Bets Stayers Hurdle – a true test of stamina. The Stayers Hurdle has had a recent history of dominance thanks to Big Buck’s. The legendary horse has won four back-to-back races between 2009 and 2012. This is more than enough reason to celebrate St Patrick’s Day at the Cheltenham Festival.
But, there is more to offer thanks to the 2005 addition yet another Grade One contest – The Ryanair Chase. Albertas Run, Cue Card and Imperial Commander have had previous successes in this race. Who will be the next addition to the Cheltenham Festival hall of fame? Who will join previous winners like Albertas Run, Cue Card and Imperial Commander? The only way to find out is by attending St Patrick’s Thursday at the Cheltenham Festival.
Brought my team to Cheltenham on St Patrick’s Day as it’s known for being one of the more animated days and we were not disappointed! Our experience at The Venue was second to none – we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
