Big Bonus up for Grabs For Champion Hurdle and Boylesports Double

The Boylesports.com International is the feature of the two day Cheltenham meeting in December. Underscoring the importance of this event is a £200,000 bonus payment offered by Boylesports for any horse winning both the Boylesports.com International and the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle in the same season. If won, this will be split £180,000 for the owner, £10,000 for the trainer and £10,000 for the successful yard's stable staff. Rooster Booster won both contests in the 2002/03 season, as did Salmon Spray (1965/66 season) and Comedy Of Errors (1974/75 season).

The two-day Boylesports International also features the £150,000 Boylesports.com Gold Cup on Saturday, December 13, while on Friday, December 12, the £100,000 Boylesports.com Cashback Chase takes centre stage. Friday also sees the £22,500 Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Steeple Chase over Cheltenham’s unique Cross Country course. Other highlights include the £45,000 Grade Two "Relkeel" Hurdle on the Saturday, and the £30,000 GradContent
