FESTIVAL UPDATE FEBRUARY 2010
Looking for accommodation?
We have a lovely 2-bed cottage available for the whole week of the Cheltenham Festival. It’s ideally located for the racecourse, with access via Cleeve Hill and Prestbury - perfect for Cheltenham Festival hospitality clients. £750.00 for the week.
Looking for hospitality?
We have full hospitality packages for marquees and boxes and availability on our steam train transfer on all days. If you already have tickets, you could consider using the steam train. This is the best way to get to the Festival. It arrives at the back of the Grandstand and you miss all the traffic and chaos in the car parks after racing.
The Gold Cup
Kauto Star and Denman are still vying for favourite for the Gold Cup, but Pricewise has tipped Imperial Commander who has shortened from 20/1 to 14/1 for the showpiece race. |
The Champion Hurdle in 2009 was won by Punjabi, trained by Nicky Henderson and ridden by Barry Geraghty. No doubt Celestial Halo will be back in 2010 to have another crack at beating him.
Tuesday also features the Arkle Trophy which was won by Forpadydeplasterer in 2009.

Champion Hurdle Day is the opening day of the Festival and many think this is one of the best days. Champion Hurdle sponsors Smufit Kappa regularly take a carriage on our steam train to take their guests to the racecourse. There are six compelling races and the crowds, whilst in their tens of thousands and still providing Cheltenham’s unique atmosphere, do not reach the numbers of Gold Cup Day. It is therefore much easier to move around Cheltenham’s superb racecourse.
