The final day of the meeting features the Cheltenham Gold Cup and we all await to see if Denman can repeat his success of 2008, or will Kauto Star avenge his defeat against his younger stablemate. The Triumph Hurdle and Albert Bartlett Hurdle race are other really good races on the final day of the 2009 Cheltenham Festival.

Day two of the Cheltenham Festival race meeting features six equally fascinating events including the Champion Bumper which is a flat race run under National Hunt rules and the showpiece event, the Queen Mother Chase. The later of the two, the Queen Mother Chase is often viewed as one of the bookmakers most feared races, as favourites tend to perform exceptionally well in this event.
Another of the horse races which takes place on the Wednesday is the Coral Cup and although being one of the latest additions to the racing meeting it already has a strong Irish winning connection to it. The new addition to Wednesday's Cheltenham races is the National Hunt Novice Chase.
