The Cheltenham Festival takes place from Tuesday the 15th to Friday the 18th of March 2011. The first day, is Centenary Day – Marking one hundred years of racing history. Over the four days, there are 27 races, with highlights including the Gold Cup, Queen Mother Champion Chase and the Champion Hurdle.
