The David Nicholson Mares race was introduced for the 2008 Cheltenham festival. This Mares race is for 4 year olds plus and the first two winners of it were 5 years of age. This races looks a good addition to the festival allowing Mares an opportunity to run against their own gender.
Quevega has won the race in some style for the past three years and it is looking likely that connections will go for number four in 2012, Willie Mullins got here in fantatsic shape for the race in 2011 and if she turns up again in good form will surely be a warm order favourite.
Quevega really looks to be a star mare that could be ready to take a step up at some stage in her career so this Mares Hurdle is well worth keeping an eye on for potential stars of the future.
The bookmakers should put the prices for this race pretty early as the potential runners will become evident early in the season. When the prices are available we shall feature them right here.
