Hunters Chase Odds

On the final day of the Cheltenham Festival we have the Hunters Chase. A race that runs under National Hunt rules for amateur jockeys, this race is run on the new course at Cheltenham Racecourse giving it a distance of 3 miles, 2 furlongs and 70 yards.

With similarities to the Cheltenham Gold Cup, winners of this race often go on to perform at the Gold Cup in later years, hence why the race has the title of 'amateur Gold Cup'.

About the Hunters Chase

Amateur riders look at the Hunters Chase as an opportunity to end the festival on a high note. The premier race of Horse Racing for amateur jockeys requires a horse to have either won or finished runner up in two Hunter Chase events to qualify for the Cheltenham Festival event.
