Win a day out at Cheltenham
HHO has joined forces with Intervet UK to offer you and three friends the chance to enjoy a day out at the Cheltenham Open race meeting
Whether you’re an avid national hunt racing enthusiast or fancy a day at the races for the first time our competition to win tickets for the Cheltenham Open race meeting (15-17 November) will be right up your street.
One lucky winner, plus three friends, will enjoy a day at Cheltenham’s Open race meeting on Saturday 16 November. There are also two runners-up prizes of a pair of tickets up for grabs.
The day’s racing includes the first classic steeplechase of the season, the £100,000 Thomas Pink Gold Cup, as well as the £60,000 Intervet Trophy Handicap Steeplechase and the £50,000 Tote Bookmakers Handicap Hurdle.
Intervet is sponsoring the Handicap Steeplechase for the third consecutive year and the three-mile, three and a half furlong race is expected to attract some of racing’s leading stayers.
Last year’s race was won by the Irish mare, Hati Roy, owned by Mrs R A Humphries and trained by top national hunt trainer Henrietta Knight, who also trained this year’s Gold Cup winner, Best Mate.
The three days of top racing are expected to attract a capacity crowd of more than 50,000 people. Other highlights of the meeting include:
