About The Grand Annual Chase
The Grand Annual has a slightly confusing history, with its origins dating back to 1834 when it was run at Andoversford. This means it actually predates the Cheltenham Festival itself by a number of years, although it didn’t become a permanent fixture at Cheltenham until 1913, prior to which it has been staged at a host of other venues.
The name of former racehorse owner Johnny Henderson was added to the title in 2005.
In 2009, the Grand Annual became the final race of the festival, and then in 2019, it shifted to the penultimate slot. More recently, in 2021 it was moved to the second day in its current position, thereby moving from the New Course to the Old Course. Its distance of 1 mile, 7 furlongs and 199 yards remains unchanged, and 14 fences need to be navigated as the competitors make their way around the track.
The Johnny Henderson Grand Annual is currently open to horses aged five years or older, and while gender isn’t a factor, very few mares have competed in the race.
