Champion Day

Champion Day is not to be missed for those wanting the thrill of racing with the most important hurdle race of the season, the Unibet Champion Hurdle.

Day One of 2018 The Festival saw Nicky Henderson’s Buveur D’Air take the honours for the Unibet Champion Hurdle, becoming the first horse since Hardy Eustace in 2004 and 2005 to retain the title. It featured the ever-competitive OLBG Mares’ Hurdle Race, won by Benie Des Dieux, and Summerville Boy took the honours in the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.
