Cheltenham Racecard - Wednesday 16th April by Weatherbys

WEDNESDAY 16 APRIL 2025

WELCOME TO

Hello and a very warm welcome back to Cheltenham Racecourse for the opening day of The April Meeting. It is great to see you all.

It’s hard to believe that just a month ago, we witnessed an unforgettable Cheltenham Festival Willie Mullins and his team delivered an extraordinary performance, securing an impressive 10 wins over the four days. However, the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup brought a new star to the fore, as Inothewayurthinkin triumphed in a thrilling contest, preventing Galopin Des Champs from making history with a third consecutive win. Now, we’re delighted to welcome you back for what promises to be two days of topquality racing and family fun. Today’s seven-race card kicks off at 1:30pm with the Citipost Novices’ Hurdle and concludes at 5:00pm. Gates open at 12:00pm, and don’t miss our Preview Show at 12:55pm in the Winners’ Enclosure, featuring live interviews and insights from our hosts Aly Vance and Martin Kelly.

We extend our gratitude to all our supporters and sponsors, including Kingston Stud, Citipost, Brooklands Watches, Weatherite, Safran Landing Systems, The Cheltenham Pony Racing Authority, and the Matt Hampson Foundation We hope you all have a wonderful day with us

As we celebrate the Easter holidays, we’re thrilled to welcome many families to the racecourse. Our Easter Trail is available today and tomorrow, offering children the chance to follow clues and collect sweet treats. On Thursday, additional free family activities include face painting, Race.Ride Cheltenham VR Experience, animal inﬂatables, and mini golf

Tomorrow, we shine a well-deserved spotlight on the mares of the sport with our allmares racecard It also marks the ﬁnal time professional jockeys will take to the track at Cheltenham this season.

Looking ahead, our season finale, Race Night, takes place on Friday, 2 May. This unique evening fixture features seven fiercely contested hunter chases, providing amateur riders and trainers the opportunity to compete at the Home of Jump Racing After the racing, join us trackside for a high-energy live performance by local legends The Chip Shop Boys, bringing the season to a spectacular close.

For now, we wish you all a fantastic day with us

Warm wishes,

Guy Lavender

Martin St Quinton Chief Executive Officer Chairman

BETTING EXPLAINED

Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number

Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

‘To win’ is for your horse to come ﬁrst.

‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come ﬁrst or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.

Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.

Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.

Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

Title-chasing Willie Mullins looks to hold all the aces in the opener and DR EGGMAN gets the verdict to supplement his recent Limerick success at the expense of stablemate Toad Hall, who conﬁrmed the promise of his hurdling debut in straightforward fashion at Downpatrick last month and is open to further progress. Pleasington was a disappointing rare runner in Ireland for Olly Murphy last month but can get back on track now stepping up to 2 1/2m.

Low mileage 6-y-o EAST INDIA EXPRESS resumed from an 11-week break still in top form in faring by far the best of those who raced prominently in the Martin Pipe at last month’s Festival, so he remains of ﬁrm interest, especially now returning to a slightly shorter trip Reallyntruthfully has quickly developed into a likeable type and should go well again back in handicap company, with Spirits Bay and American Sniper completing the shortlist.

Willie Mullins holds a very strong hand with CLASSIC GETAWAY and O’Moore Park. The latter was an excellent third in the Golden Miller off this mark last month but narrow preference is for Classic Getaway, who looks on a nice mark back in a handicap having won a Grade 2 at Gowran in February Riskintheground thrives at this time of year and completes the shortlist after his stylish win at Ayr on Friday.

The pick of several viable candidates could be BIG BOY BOBBY, who has returned from a lengthy absence with a couple of solid efforts in defeat and the drying ground here is a plus. Liverpool Knight looks a big threat for last year’s winning yard, while King William Rufus could have a say now back in calmer waters and the progressive pair Continuance and Game Over are others to consider Arclight also needs a mention, as she would be a serious player offthis reduced mark if able to bounce back.
