Owners

Nothing matches the experience of having a runner, maybe even a winner, at Cheltenham, particularly at The Festival. Our dedicated staff make sure that every aspect of an owner’s visit, from the distribution of tickets and badges, through the booking of lunch, to the presentation of trophies in the historic Winners’ Enclosure runs as smoothly as possible.

Trainers

We keep in close touch with trainers to ensure a balanced programme of races leading up to The Festival, giving them the chance to run horses of all levels of experience here at Cheltenham. Their input is invaluable when we put together our programme for the season and their advice and comments are always welcomed.

Jockeys

Jockeys are extraordinarily fit athletes and we ensure that their raceday needs are met with a dedicated medical team, including a physiotherapist. We provide areas to rest before, between and after racing, with a range of nutritionally balanced food and drink.

Stable Staff

At Cheltenham we understand and appreciate the huge and vital role played by stable staff. They are well catered for in our on-site hotel, Hunters Lodge, where tea and coffee are free at every meeting and a variety of meals, including vegetarian options, are available at cost price. All stable staff are also given a complimentary meal in Hunters Lodge on the day that a horse they are responsible for runs at Cheltenham.

First time visitors to the racecourse will be given a guide to all the facilities for stable staff.

We provide over £10,000 each season in Best Turned Out awards and other bonuses for stable staff, often thanks to our race sponsors.
