The Showcase

A stunning start to the new season at Cheltenham with a valuable two day meeting, plus the chance to get behind the scenes.  Seven races each day, with almost every category of horse catered for, will allow you to get some early season pointers for the forthcoming fixtures at Cheltenham and elsewhere. Plenty of stars of the 2007/08 season were on display at this meeting last year, including Knowhere, Joe Lively, Maljimar and Marodima.

The Showcase Exhibtion brings together information about breeding, owning, training, riding and caring for horses in their retirement, plus demonstrations covering aspects as diverse as how a horse is saddled and how a fence is built. Prior to racing, you can visit the parade ring and the weighing room, normally off limits, and even win the chance to judge the Best Turned Out horse in a race, watch a race as an owner or make a trophy presentation. 

This year, The Showcase also coincides with the famous Cheltenham Literature Festival, which runs from 10 to 19 October. Names such as Julie Walters, Roger Moore, Sheila Hancock, Ray Mears, John Barrowman and Richard Attenborough are appearing at events in the Centaur.
