The Crown Jewel of Jump Racing

By Linda Tancs

The focus of jumping season in England is The Festival at Cheltenham.  Taking place today through 13 March at Prestbury Park, it’s the place where dreams are made, where the best horses, jockeys and trainers forge their reputation for excellence amidst a crowd of 235,000 people.  The environment isn’t too shabby, either.  Located at the edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, Cheltenham is a Regency spa town with a flair for culture and style.
