The April Meeting - Wednesday
This raceday has now passed, click here to view our upcoming racedays at Cheltenham Racecourse.
WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY
Competitive racing, with entertainment and a relaxed atmosphere make it a fabulous April afternoon out. It’s the perfect race meeting to bring along a friend who has never experienced the buzz of a Cheltenham Raceday.
Last year, the sun shone down upon the fantastic racing action which included the Grade 2 feature race being landed by Caribean Boy for Lambourn maestro Nicky Henderson and the double green ownership team of Simon Munir and Issac Souede, under their retained jockey Daryl Jacob.
The trip across the Irish sea for Gordon Elliott’s charge The Friday Man proved successful when he won the Citipost Novices’ Hurdle, with jockey Sean Bowen in the plate.
It may not be the Cheltenham Festival, but make no mistake, the racing action is just as thrilling and competitive as any Cheltenham race meeting.
Under 18’s race free and do not require a ticket to enter.
