If you’re not one of the lucky ones going to the Cheltenham Festival this year then don’t worry… there are plenty of other ways to capture the magic!
The four-day fiesta takes place from Tuesday, 10th March to Friday, 13th March. There are 28 races on the Cheltenham Festival schedule including 13 Grade 1s. The Cheltenham Gold Cup’s the highlight of the week and Inothewayurthinkin’s going for back-to-back victories in the Blue Riband.
If you can’t catch any of the action on TV or Paddy Power’s free live stream then you can always listen to radio coverage. Sometimes the old-fashioned technology comes up trumps…
Cheltenham Festival odds are on the Paddy Power website and app. Otherwise, all the details you need to listen to the races on the radio can be found below.
