Where to stream Cheltenham Festival 2019 at home?
The clock is ticking down to what is our personal favourite race-meet of the British racing calendar, and one that we know many of you also rate highly – it is of course; Cheltenham!
The 4 day event kicks off with Champion Day on March 12th, culminating in the Gold Cup Finale; “Gold Cup Day” on Friday March 15th, which includes of course, the famous 3.30 Gold Cup Chase.
Last year, it was the 5/1, 8 year old Native Winner that took the Gold Cup in 7:02.60 – followed by Might Bite and Anibale Fly.
The year is notable also for the end of Timico’s sponsorship of the race, now sponsored by Magners. The steeplechase race is now closing in on it’s 100th anniversarry, having debuted in 1924
