Mares-only meeting at Cheltenham in April
Monday 19 February 2018 10:05, UK
Cheltenham will stage the first ever mares-only jumps card on April 19.
There will be seven races and over £190,000 in prize money up for grabs, with two events worth #40,000, a novices' handicap chase and a four-year-old handicap hurdle.
Simon Claisse, Cheltenham's clerk of the course, said: "I am delighted that Cheltenham is to be the first jump racecourse to stage an all-mares' racecard.
"The running order on the second day of the April Meeting previously had four all-mares races on it and we very much hope that the seven races will be well-supported."
