StevieDay1983 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 OK, so this might seem like a trivial subject for the more experienced race goers out there but we did a quick search and it turns out that one of the most popular questions being asked on search engines online is what clothes should those attending Cheltenham Festival wear? So I thought it was worth setting up a little thread for people to throw in advice on what attire is appropriate to help those that are attending the festival for the first time and don't know where to start. Feel free to offer your advice if you have attended previous festivals. The Brigadier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 This year they're changing the rules for Chelteham and you can basically wear what you want barring Football kits. (if you had that in mind ) so jogging bottoms allowed. Jeans. Trainers. Anything like that is now permitted. although personally Id still want to be looking dapper at Cheltenham and not be going in me joggers.

On one occasion I nearly froze to death and that from a bloke that used knock holes in the ice night fishing in winter. That breeze comes right up that valley. So bear that in mind.

calva decoy Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 On Don Cossack's Gold Cup win I couldn't feel my feet in Best Mate enclosure after race 1 yet despite the bitterness ( about 4 degrees ) some plank still managed to do a streak ? Only time I wear a suit is for job interview or a funeral , you should be able to wear what you want & what you feel comfortable in as long as it's not like a Prince Harry stag do costume .

Zilzalian Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 2002 I was waiting for the result of the bumper i had backed Pizarro 16/1 (ridden by Jamie Spencer believe it or not) against Rhinestone Cowboy the red hot and many peoples banker of the meeting 5/2 fav. It was absolutely freezing made worse by the long wait. A bookie was offering 6/4 Pizarro keeping the race (stewards enquiry). I and my mate who took some convincing had 200 quid on that 6/4, (my biggest ever bet at that time) I only had 20 quid on Pizarro to win at 16/1. I just had to look up the horses and result as i wrote this but the memory of that cold chill and my mates red raw face has never left me. ?

It was the ground that won it ? 9/2 on Sunday after the in depth Countryfile forecast of a dry week , you could hear gasps when Cue Card came down but rails eye view in Best Mate when The Don romped home , £45 I won & an 8/1 Skelton winner earlier in the day ?
