Horse Racing

The Gold Cup is approaching and horse racing enthusiasts and sports nuts alike are beginning to get pumped up for the big race. The Cheltenham festival is an annual event that takes place in the town of Cheltenham, England. It's a grade 1 national hunt horse race where any horse five years and older is eligible. Since 1924, the Cheltenham Gold Cup has been one of the most prominent chases in the UK.

There has been much speculation about who the winner might be in 2009. For the past two years, Paul Nicholls has trained horses that won the coveted first place prize. His horses have also dominated the elite club of the top three horses of the Cheltenham race. Most are looking to Paul Nicholls' 2007 champion Kauto Star to cross the finish line first once again in 2009.

The town of Cheltenham has a rich culture surrounding the race and associated festival. Every year you'll find tourists flooding in from every direction trying to get a piece of the action. Restaurants and hotels do enough business in a weekend to keep them happy for the entire month. The pre-race gambling atmosphere is tense as Cheltenham betting takes place in every local bookie shop. It's a fun-filled weekend for all as the festival gets under way. The town truly comes alive during this annual ritual.

The Cheltenham Gold Cup will truly prove to be an amazing race this year. Speculators across the sports world are guessing who the winner might be. While it may be easy to check the stats and figures, it takes a lot more to get lucky. All in all, in today's fast paced world of the internet, it makes sense once in a while to get involved with one of the oldest sports competitions around: horse racing.
