Cheltenham Racecourse
The highlight of the National Hunt Calendar is the Cheltenham Festival,
which is held at Cheltenham Racecourse every March. Many of the best
horses come to the festival, as well as huge numbers of Irish fans.
Hundreds of millions of pounds are gambled over the four days. This is
regarded as the "olympics of Horse Racing". Other important festivals
are the Punchestown Festival - the Irish equivalent , and Aintree's
Grand National meeting, The Tingle Creek in Sandown as well as the
Scottish National in Ayr and the Welsh National in Chepstow.
The core of the National Hunt season is over the winter when it is not competing with its more glamorous cousin, and the ground is softer and more appropriate for jumping. The horses are much cheaper as the majority are geldings and have no breeding value. This makes the sport more popular as the horses are not usually retired at such a young age. Jump racing is only taken seriously in Britain, Ireland and France. In Ireland the sport is far more popular than flat racing, while in England it is more balanced, but the different seasons mean that most fans of the sport can enjoy both forms of racing.
