Jump racing fans can look forward to a full week of top-class action, packed with clues for the Cheltenham Festival in March
Saturday 26th
The best part of
Christmas, if you’ve any interest in horse racing, comes on
boxing Day with the King George VI Chase, the midwinter championship of steeplechasing. It’s the race that made stars of Desert Orchid and Kauto Star, who won it nine times between them, and those of us who have been around long enough get rheumy-eyed over memories of Silver Buck, Wayward Lad and many others.
