2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup Sweepstake Kit

Cheltenham Gold Cup

The Cheltenham Gold Cup is a National Hunt chase held in the United Kingdom. The Cheltenham Gold Cup is open to horses aged five years or older and is run on the New Course at Cheltenham over a distance of about 3 miles and 2½ furlongs, incorporating twenty-two fences.

It is the most prestigious of all National Hunt events, and it is sometimes referred to as the Blue Riband of jump racing. Its roll of honour features the names of such highly acclaimed chasers as Arkle, Golden Miller, Kauto Star and Mill House. The Gold Cup is at present the most valuable non-handicap chase in Britain.

The race is scheduled to take place each year during the Cheltenham Festival in March.

On five occasions, the Cheltenham Festival had to be cancelled due to frost (1931), flooding (1937), World War II (1943,1944), and, most recently, an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (2001) which affected horse racing around the world.
