The Jockey Club South West Kalendar Magazine 2019-20

IT’S SHOWTIME!

The wait is finally over. As the Home of Jump Racing comes alive once more, The Showcase marks the start of another action-packed season

AS THE DAYS get shorter and the crisp mornings return, it can only mean one thing – Cheltenham is back. The thundering of hooves and cheers from the crowd will return to Cheltenham’s world class sporting venue on 25th and 26th October to kick-start another season of extraordinary moments. The buzz around the course as the gates open for the first meeting of the season is like no other day, with familiar faces bumping into one another and the local community heading back to their racing roots. Cheltenham regulars travel from afar to return to the one place they’ve missed all summer as racing knuckles down and we prepare for what lies ahead. The Showcase marks a key moment in many sports fans’ calendars. From
