DAILY HIGHLIGHTS
Day 1 – Champion Day

The feature race of the day is the Unibet Champion Hurdle, where the very best hurdlers compete to make history. Constitution Hill fell last year. Can the superstar of hurdling regain the crown he won after a sublime performance in the 2023 edition of the race?
Day 2 – Ladies Day
Ladies Day celebrates speed, style and exhilaration. Featuring the BetMGM Queen Mother Champion Chase, it is fast, furious, and requires a perfect blend of speed and an ability to be inch-perfect when negotiating each of the 13 fences at pace around Cheltenham’s legendary old course. The fastest jump horses jumping at speed with the upmost precision and accuracy. The defending champion is Marine Nationale who flew up the famous Cheltenham hill in 2025, beating hot favourite Jonbon.
Day 3 – St Patrick’s Thursday
Where Irish passion for the sport and the Cheltenham Festival raises the rafters and the craic is mighty. The Cheltenham Festival is a second home to the Irish and St Patrick’s Thursday reflects this both on and off the track. Featuring The Ryanair Chase and Paddy Power Stayer’s Hurdle, where endurance and stamina reign. It’s the tough versus the tough and provides the most thrilling battles.
Day 4 – Gold Cup Day
The pinnacle of Jump Racing, where winners go down in history and legends are born. Gold Cup Day is something quite incredible, indescribably amazing. The racing, the atmosphere, the entertainment. This year is going to be bigger and better than ever before as the Festival celebrates 100 years of the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup. 2023 and 2024 winner Galopin Des Champs was aiming for a three-peat in 2025, but Inothewayurthinkin had not read the script. The seven-year-old beat the defending champion by six lengths.
