CHELTENHAM'S SEASON FINALE
The curtain comes down on the 2023/24 season with Cheltenham’s only evening fixture on Friday 3 May 2024 and features for the first time ever a live TRACKSIDE DJ set from the renowned Chris Stark!
The evening hosts a fabulously fun vibe from start to finish, you can feel the party atmosphere as soon as you walk through those gates onto the sacred grounds of Cheltenham Racecourse. Chris Stark will be spinning the decks following the last race at approximately 8.30pm in the Grand Stand for an extended set – it promises to be a night to remember and will close the Cheltenham season with a bang!
It's a meeting that allows amateur riders and trainers to compete for the ultimate dream of winning at the Home of Jump racing with seven fiercely fought Hunter chases.
Fier Jaguen in the first race and Premier Magic in the feature Ineos Grenadier Mixed Open Hunters' Chase completed a double for trainer-jockey Bradley Gibbs, who of course was victorious in the St James Place Festival Challenge Cup at the Cheltenham Festival in 2023.
Other well-known names on the hunter chase and point-to-point circuit to score on the evening were the husband-and-wife combination of Tom Ellis and Gina Andrews when Fairly Famous won the KTDA Open Hunters Chase.
Great racing, a fitting finale to the jump racing season at Cheltenham. Race Night is a favourite with socialisers and families alike. Dedicated children and family Raceday Trail (scroll down to find out more below), coupled with a party atmosphere, make it an unmissable event. As the curtain comes down once again on the Cheltenham Racecourse season – you can’t afford to miss it.
