The luck of the Irish? - Day Three of Cheltenham Festival
We're celebrating St Patricks Day alongside thousands of racegoers
Last updated 17th Mar 2022
It's the penultimate day of Cheltenham Festival and there's a sea of green across the race course as spectators celebrate St Patrick's Day too!
There are two feature races today: the Ryanair Steeple Chase (2.50pm) and the Paddy Power Stayers Hurdle (3.30pm).
As of the end of Day Two, Ireland had taken the lead in the Prestbury Cup but Britain is only 2 winners behind. One side will need to reach 15 to claim the trophy.
The Prestbury Cup, named after the nearest village to Cheltenham Racecourse, will be presented to jockeys and trainers from Ireland or Britain once the winning country is confirmed. The Cup itself has been sealed with some Cheltenham turf, so the winning country will be taking a little bit of the race course with them.
