Thrust into the limelight the day after the Cheltenham Festival has ended, Uttoxeter has developed into a mainstay of the National Hunt season over the years. First opening in 1907 with just five meetings a year, the Midlands venue now hosts 25 cards throughout the year, with the Midlands National, a pick-me-up after the conclusion of Cheltenham a highlight.
As well as showcasing future National Winners, the course was the venue for AP McCoy’s victory that saw him become the winning-most National Hunt jockey of all time.
