RACE MEETINGS
THE INTERNATIONAL MEETING FRIDAY 9 & SATURDAY 10 DECEMBER
Christmas comes early to Cheltenham every year, with The International Meeting on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 December. With an overseas flare in the Cross Country Chase, and more top quality action in the shape of the Handicap Steeple Chase, Unibet International Hurdle and The December Gold Cup, this two-day race meeting is a highlight of the Christmas racing calendar and kick starts the festive sporting season. On Friday the race card features the Cross Country Chase and the Handicap Steeple Chase, it’s an important day in the Festive racing calendar and one that always delivers. After racing on the Friday, we see the return of the Tattersalls Cheltenham December Sale which provide clients the opportunity to purchase quality English and Irish point to pointers and National Hunt Form Horses. The sale will take place after racing in the Tattersalls Sales Arena. The second day of The International Meeting on Saturday 10 December is a card of quality races with The JCB Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle, The December Gold Cup, the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle and the Unibet International Hurdle. The feature race of the weekend is the Grade 2 Unibet Hurdle, which in 2021 was won by father son team, Nigel and Sam Twiston-Davies with Guard Your Dreams.
