Cheltenham Festival: 15 moments that make us want to turn back the clock

Madeleine Silver

    • How is the Cheltenham Festival over for another year? So many highs, a fair few lows, sun, rising stars, Tinder, tears, Guinness and a reassuring amount of tweed. Please can we do it all again?

    It was worse than waiting for Christmas last Tuesday morning on the first day of the Festival

    But then it all began with that spine-tingling roar

    The new stars of the sport made their mark

    And the Guinness began to flow…

    …which meant the jokers were out in force…

    …And fancy dress was in full swing

    It’s not often that you can get away with hats of this calibre

    We celebrated racing’s heroes who have forged new careers

    But not everyone was sussing out the equine talent…

    Seeing double?

    Dressing to impress: some familiar faces ditched their breeches for the week…

    Not everything went to plan during the week

    A big breakfast was the only answer to a big week for ITV Racing
