Racing fanatics prepare for Cheltenham Festival countdown
Although obviously if that doesn't suit change it to something else - going to be sending over quite a few SEO articles over the next week.
Every March, the nation is swept away by horse racing fever as gamblers and racing fanatics prepare to embark on an unrivalled path of excitement. Fans of the sport travel from far and wide to be there to witness the action first hand and the greatest horses from either side of the Irish Sea descend on Prestbury Park to prove they are ready to join some of the greatest jump horses of all time on the Festival roll of honour.
Each year the Cheltenham festival ( http://www.cheltenham-racing.co.uk ) can expect to welcome over 200,000 racegoers from all over the world who head to the course safe in the knowledge that the action is sure to be explosive, exhilarating and thoroughly intriguing.
With it believed that more than £500 million will be gambled throughout the week, most of racing's shrewdest punters use the four days to pulverise the bookmakers and land some of their biggest gambles of the year, while inexperienced punters arrive at Cheltenham just hoping that they can be there to cheer home a winner on racing's greatest stage.
The action lasts for four days and from Tuesday to Friday there is a feature race each day that inevitably grabs the headlines in the build up to the meeting.
The opening day of the Cheltenham festival ( http://www.cheltenham-live.com ) is considered to be one of the most breathtaking racing days of the year and Champion Hurdle Tuesday is often remembered for the sensational 'Cheltenham roar' that accompanies the Supreme Novices' Hurdle.
Wednesday's action revolves around the two-mile Queen Mother Champion Chase which sees some of the greatest chasers on the planet battle it out in one of the most exciting contests of the week.
But while speed, accurate jumping and a touch of class are essential to win Wednesday's feature, it's all about grit, guts and determination on the Thursday when the best staying hurdlers in training battle it out in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle. With a list of winners that includes the likes of Big Buck's and Inglis Drever, the World Hurdle is one of the most celebrated showdowns of the season.
However, it is very much a case of saving best until last at Prestbury Park and there is no greatest race than the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the 'Blue Riband' of British jump racing. Some of the world's most famous horses have become a part of Cheltenham's prestigious history in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and from the likes of Best Mate to Kauto Star and from Desert Orchid to Denman; the list of greats to win the races continues to grow with every incredible Festival that takes place.
