What racing festivals do we have to look forward to in early 2024?
Anyone even half way familiar with the racing calendar will surely recognise that we have some exciting months of racing ahead of us. With Royal Ascot in June (18th – 22nd) and the Aintree Grand National on 13th April it’s good of Betway (in the video above) to remind us that as soon as March we have the one and only four day festival of racing that is Cheltenham to look forward to. It won’t be long until the Cheltenham Roar echoes out and the unmissable feast of racing action begins.
And what exciting races the four days will bring. With the Champion Hurdle (after winning the event last year a 1/3 Constitution Hill looks hard to stop), Arkle Chase (I like the look of the Barry Connell, trained and owned Marine Nationale – currently Cheltemham festival odds of 5/2 ), and of course the Cheltenham Gold Cup (many see this as a Galopin Des Champs formality, but there are plenty of other contenders), to look forward to over the four days of racing, anyone fancying a bet has no shortage of opportunities to do so.
Of course the beauty of racing is that we all have our own approach to betting, whether largely fun based or more diligent and well argued – and an element of luck can sometimes tip the scales too (hopefully in our favour rather than against). With plenty of free bet offers available from bookmakers in the run up to Cheltenham, I, along with millions others will no doubt be soaking in the action come 12th March (Champions Day) and enjoying the days that follow.
