Cheltenham Festival For Betting Lovers
In the festival, the exhilaration and thrill is something to behold once the racers come to the field to fight for the ultimate crown. The owners, trainers and horses relish this god-sent opportunity to prove their mettle and win lasting honor for themselves. The festival’s four days are named separately, in accordance with their features and specialties- Champion Day, Ladies Day, St Patrick’s Day and Gold Cup Thursday.
The highlight of the last year’s Ladies Day was Sprinter Sacre (better known as Black Airplane) which won the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase for an emphatic second time and earned itself a name in the all-time greats.
The festival’s third day is the St Patrick’s Thursday, for it provides an
opportune atmosphere for the celebration of the St Patrick’s Day. Lots of
Guinness is available along with the Irish music to make one familiar with the
true meaning of the word ‘celebration’. The Sun Bets Stayers’ Hurdle and the
Ryanair Chase are its biggest two races.
The Gold Cup Day marks the climax of the festival- the last day for a lasting impression on the audience. The previous year the spectators got to enjoy the thrilling competition in the Timico Gold Cup race between Bryan Cooper, Djakadam and Don Poli, with Brayan Cooper in the end emerging victorious in style on his Don Cossack.
These four days of the Cheltenham Festival represent the highlight of the racing season when an estimated £600m money change hands in betting, making it one of the favorites for traders and punters. Although second to the Grand National in terms of prize money, the Cheltenham Festival can rightly be called the ‘highlight of the racing year’ for gamblers and traders.
