Cheltenham Festival Heritage

Racing at the Cheltenham racecourse dates back to the early 19th century, with the meeting that evolved into the Cheltenham Festival first held in 1831. By the turn of the century the Cheltenham Festival had emerged as the most prestigious horse race meeting in national hunt racing.

The first decades of the 20th century saw great horses like Golden Miller capture the imagination of the British public, whilst successes from Irish horses like Cottage Rake rapidly led to the event developing into an unofficial national hunt championship between Ireland and England.
