Let the battle commence
Join us on Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup Day for the climax of the entire Jump racing season, with six other scintillating races centred around the big one. As always, the Gold Cup will capture the nation’s attention; the question this year is whether Long Run and Sam Waley-Cohen can defend their crown against the mighty Kauto Star and Ruby Walsh, the leading Festival jockey of all time.
Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup day is an unmissable event every year, and 2012 is no exception.
Gold Cup day is now sold out but tickets are available on the day for Wednesday and Thursday.

Every Gold Cup Day ticket comes with the chance to win anything from major Cheltenham race meeting tickets to a luxury weekend away for two. |
 |
Can Long Run repeat his glorious 2011 victory, will the resurgent Kauto Star prove too good, or will there be a new name on the legendary roll of honour? |
 |
Watch six other magical races, including two more Championship events and three fiercely competitive handicaps. |
 |
Most eyes will be on Kauto Star and Long Run, but it would be dangerous to dismiss everything else, especially Lexus Chase winner Synchronised in the famous JP McManus colours (who will be ridden by the Champion AP McCoy) and Quel Esprit, a recent Grade 1 winner in Ireland for Willie Mullins. Who will your money be on? |
 |
The glittering prize. A new Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup is minted each year. The cup contains 10 ounces of gold and this year has an estimated value of almost £11,000. But who will be holding it aloft? Be here and see for yourself. |
