The 2026 Cheltenham Festival concludes with Gold Cup day on March 13, featuring the prestigious Grade One race at 4:00 PM. Eleven horses, including favorites Gaelic Warrior, Jango Baie, and The Jukebox Man, will compete over three miles and two furlongs for a £625,000 prize pot. Ground conditions are reported as good to soft, soft in places, following overnight rain.
Horse racing will return to Towcester Racecourse in 2027 after a £2m revamp and a new partnership with bookmaker Betway. The venue closed in 2019 following financial difficulties.
