We all make decisions every day. Good and bad. Big and small.
Whether to train for that marathon you entered on a whim or whether to back Arsenal to win the Premier League. Let’s face it – neither is happening, right?
Anyhoo, you no longer have to decide whether to have an ante-post bet on Cheltenham 2025 because – and you may need to lean against a stationary object for this.
Paddy Power is now Non Runner Money Back on ALL 28 CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL races from midday on Friday, January 31.
But the Cheltenham Festival is still six weeks away, Paddy; that’s crazy talk.
Paddy hears you. Paddy don’t care.
So, from noon on Friday, January 31, Paddy Power will refund you as Non Runner Money Back should your ante-post bet fail to run in the race you backed it for at Cheltenham 2025 – whatever the reason.
Here’s how it works …
The Cheltenham Festival will feature 28 races from Tuesday, March 11th to Friday, March 14th.
Following last weekend’s Cheltenham Trials Day, trainers are in full prep mode and this weekend’s Dublin Racing Festival will tell us a lot more.
Some horses have just one target – like Galopin Des Champs, who aims to win his third straight Gold Cup next month – but may also win his third consecutive Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup tomorrow at Leopardstown.
Also declared is stablemate and current ante-post favourite for the Ryanair Chase, Fact To File. The latter also has an entry for the Cheltenham Gold Cup, though a call regarding his Festival target will have to be made at some stage.
Confused? Stay with us.
Thanks to Paddy’s Non Runner Money Back Guarantee, you can back either Galopin Des Champs and Fact To File for Cheltenham 2025 before they race on Saturday at Leopardstown – safe in the knowledge that your hard-earned is getting refunded for Cheltenham 2025 if one or either doesn’t make it to the race you backed them for.
Simples.
And with plenty of high-profile runners double-entered – we’re looking at you Lossiemouth and Brighterdaysahead, Paddy’s Non Runner Money Back offer allows you to stay ahead of the field at no cost should something happen to the best-laid plans.
So, if your Da’s mate down the pub keeps chiming in about getting a tip for an outsider in the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle on March 13th who will only run if the rain arrives, Non Runner Money Back is your go-to guy even if your da’s mate isn’t.
And if you need a steer, Paddy Power News’ dedicated Cheltenham Festival site will be firing up all kinds of tips, previews, pods and general mayhem during the home straight and week of the fiesta.
Nothing says Cheltenham’s a-coming like Paddy hitting the Non Runner Money Back button!
