    Becoming Cheltenham

    The Cheltenham Festival began in 1860 and was originally held at Market Harborough, Leicestershire before moving to its namesake in 1861. 

    It moved to various locations before finally returning to Cheltenham in 1904.

    The Gold Cup began as a supporting race for the Country Hurdle before becoming a championship race.

    The competition’s popularity has soared over the years, making it one of the most anticipated events.

    Michael O’Sullivan and Cheltenham

    The Cheltenham Festival 2025 was particularly focused on Michael O’Sullivan

    Michael was an accomplished jockey who became an Irish Champion conditional jockey and won a day one double at Cheltenham 2023. 

    After falling from his horse on February 6, 2025, Michael was placed in an induced coma before passing away ten days later

    His loss was felt across the racing world, leading officials to name a race after him at Cheltenham 2025.

    Michael’s brother Alan also competed at the competition.
