The April Meeting - Thursday
This raceday has now passed, click here to view our upcoming racedays at Cheltenham Racecourse.
ANOTHER TREMENDOUS THURSDAY!
Thursday is an all-mare race card, so get your girlfriends together and come and experience the April Meeting. With the wide range of bars, from cocktails to champagne, you will find the perfect spot to enjoy your day.
Thursday hosts the British EBF Mares’ Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle, Walk In Clover landed the spoils last year for multiple Cheltenham Festival winning trainer Dan Skelton.
It proved a good two-day meeting for Nicky Henderson as Ahorsewithnoname came home in front in the Listed contest of the afternoon, with stable jockey Nico De Boinville doing the steering. Under Control completed a double on the day for Nicky Henderson and Nico De Boinville later on the card.
For a mid-April day out, there is nothing better than a day soaking up the fabulous atmosphere with pals, whilst enjoying the superb sporting action on the track.
Under 18’s race free and do not require a ticket to enter.
