The Cheltenham Festival is highlight of the season for the hunter chase brigade. The Christie’s Foxhunter Chase is one of the oldest races at the Festival. The first running in 1904 was won by the 6/4 favourite Palmy Boy, owned and ridden by Mr J Widger. It is now the richest and most prestigious hunter chase of the season, worth a total of 40,000.
The major stables are usually represented and are fiercely contested between the Irish and UK based trainers. This contest is run over three miles about two and a half furlongs and a premium is put on the jumping and this is why experience nearly always plays a factor.
Salisfy will try to make it three years in a row in the 2014 Foxhunter Steeple Chase.
