The first day of the Cheltenham Festival, the first race and the first time you hear the Cheltenham roar is when the runners start on their way round the 2 mile 110 yards Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. It is the traditional curtain-raiser for the Cheltenham Festival and it is always a great way to get the Cheltenham Festival underway. Nothing gets the hairs standing on end like the noise of several thousand people cheering as the horses set off, and then it gets even better if and when the favourite puts its nose into the lead. Should the favourite, or one of the heavily backed runners win, the noise as they cross the line will be deafening – it is 12 months of anticipation let out over the course of a couple of minutes. There is nothing like it at the Cheltenham Festival, which is why the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle holds such a special place in the hearts of National Hunt lovers the world over.
