Ladies Day at Cheltenham Festival is well-known for the fashionable women that grace the grandstands. Ladies dress in outrageous outfits and finish off their brightly coloured looks with feathered or bejewelled fascinators. However, there is still plenty of attention given to the Ladies Day schedule, as horse racing events take place throughout the day. The stands and boxes are filled with horse bettors watching the sportingbet.com Queen Mother Champion Chase – a top event in the Ladies Day timetable. In this race, the best horses and jockeys compete across a distance of two miles in an attempt to cross the finish line first.

Another top event on the Cheltenham Ladies Day race schedule is the Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle, which is a race for horses aged four years plus. However, it is important to consider that it’s usually horses of around six years old that do well in this competition. There is also the RSA Steeple Chase where current trainers Willie Mullins and Paul Nicholls have won multiple times. The Weatherbys Champion Bumper (Open NH Flat Race) is fast becoming one of the most popular races on Ladies Day as it is the only race on the Cheltenham Festival schedule without hurdles.

There are also a number of events occurring off the track at the Cheltenham Festival Ladies Day. When the gates open at 10.30am, 5,000 gift bags for ladies will be given away. There will also be paddock interviews with the leading contenders taking place at 12.15pm. This is the perfect way to discover more about each jockey, trainer and horse before you place your bet.
