Racecourse record
Cheltenham racing stats
90 races at Cheltenham over the last twelve months, across 13 race days. Here is how the track actually behaves - starting with the question everyone asks.
Do favourites win at Cheltenham?
Favourites won 18% of their 99 runs here in the last twelve months (18 winners).
Joint favourites are counted. Across all UK and Irish racing the figure sits around a third, so anything well below that marks Cheltenham out as a track where the market gets caught out more often than usual.

Every pick is published in advance and settled at Betfair starting prices, losers included. Some tracks suit the model better than others and we publish both. Past results never guarantee future ones.
