Cheltenham Festival 2023: Day Four

If you’re not one of the lucky ones going to the Cheltenham Festival this year then don’t worry. There are plenty of other ways to capture the magic.

The four-day fiesta begins on Tuesday, March 12, with the highlight of the whole event being the prestigious Gold Cup, which takes place on Friday, March 15.

Last year’s winner Galopin Des Champs, trained by the legendary Willie Mullins, is going for back-to-back victories in the big one but there will be plenty trying to spoil his day.
