Visit the Marvellous Champion Bumper
The only race at the Festival that does not involve fences is the Champion Bumper (previously known as the Festival Bumper).
● It was first added in 1992 and has become a traditional event this day;
● Currently, the second day of racing is rounded off by the Champion Bumper, which is open to horses aged between 4 and 6 years of age;
● The event involves a special distance of 2 miles and half a furlong.
Lots of people go on to admire successful obstacle horse races at Cheltenham. Since winners of the Bumper tend to go off as favourites in the Supreme it is considered a key event for the following year festival's Supreme Novices Hurdle.
One of the most challenging records in the Bumper was established by 1997 winner Florida Pearl, whose outstanding career was built not without some help of his trainer Willie Mullins. In the race with two apiece, jockeys no less famous than Richard Dunwoody, Charlie Swann and Paul Carberry will lead the way for most brilliant wins.

The Cheltenham Festival is truly the most electrifying race meeting in the world; all its admirers are recommended to visit a chief source for Cheltenham Festival: betting tips and odds online together with the latest news.
