In the jumps (or National Hunt) calendar, there is nothing that compares to Cheltenham. Four days of premium horse races and the most anticipated jumps event of the year for many. In fact, many see it as the horse racing event of the year, even ahead of the Royal Ascot festival.
The pinnacle of the jumps season is, undoubtedly, this festival where greats are made, established, and cemented. Of course, you can see these horses elsewhere, but this is when they are all in one place for one week.
Constitution Hill, Lossiemouth, Galopin Des Champs, Inothewayurthinkin - all greats who should be present again. Champion Hurdle, Stayers Hurdle, the Gold Cup, all races which are spectacles in their own right.
The festival has just ended, and we're already looking forward to next March.
