The Showcase  

Getting behind the scenes on 15th and 16th October

The chance to combine brilliant racing with the opportunity to find out much more about how racing operates. Our first fixture of the season sees the leading jockeys and trainers return to Jump racing's most famous arena. Last year, Poquelin, trained by Paul Nicholls and ridden by Ruby Walsh, was a thrilling winner on Saturday's card and went on to finish second in one of The Festival highlights in March, namely the Grade 1 Ryanir Chase.

Alongside seven highly competitive races each day, you also have the chance to see, hear about and partcipate in some of the aspects of racing that are normally off-limits. Learn how a horse is saddled, how a fence is built or what horses get up to in their retirement. Go to the start, visit the weighing room, take a look at the commentary box, go inside the parade ring or even win the chance to present a trophy.

 

Another highlight is the Charles Owen Pony Racing Finals, two pony races which take place from 12.45pm on Saturday giving you the chanc to see future stars in action. Once again this year, The Showcase coincides with the Cheltenham Literature Festival, so you can combine your visit to the races with the chance to meet a famous face or two in town. Indeed, top jockey Ruby Walsh launches his much anticpated autobiography over this weekend, so take the opportunity to buy a signed copy from the Arkle Bookshop. For more information or to book tickets for the Literature Festival, please click here.

After racing on Friday there is a Brightwells Bloodstock sale. For more information, please click here.
