Friday is known as countryside day, with countryside inspired entertainment. If you're passionate about great sport and the countryside, Friday of The November Meeting is the perfect way to celebrate both!
Last year, we saw the training duo of Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero’s, Homme Public give jockey Henry Brooke his first winner at Cheltenham, when he landed the Grade 2 SSS Super Alloys Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial Novices' Chase.
The first cross country event of the season went to Foxy Jacks, under Gavin Brouder, with the ever-popular Latenightpass in second for Dan Skleton and his jockey sister-in-law Gina Ellis. Latenightpass got the better of rivals, finishing with his head in front at the next Cross-Country renewal at Cheltenham’s Christmas Meeting.
The second Grade 2 contest on the day went the way of the Welsh maestro Evan Williams and the long priced Minella Missile. The highly anticipated Captain Teague finished second and went onto Grade 1 glory later in the season.
Under 18’s race free. Please ensure you order your free childrens' ticket from our ticketing page.
