It’s the biggest week of the year for horse racing fans, with the Cheltenham Festival beginning in style today.

The most exciting, and often wallet-busting, few days in the calendar has officially begun as punters all across the world settle in for a week of thrills.

People are making up for lost time, too. A whopping 250,000 fans expected to descend on the event across the week after last year's festival was held behind closed doors because of coronavirus restrictions.

With seven races each day, starting daily at 1:30pm and ending at 5:30pm, there’s an awful lot for them to look forward to.
