Cheltenham Festival remains over four days as bosses scrap plans for controversial fifth amid 'uncertain economic' times

Cheltenham Festival will remain over four days. Bosses scrapped plans for a controversial fifth day of racing from 2024. The Festival is always run from Tuesday to Friday. The Jockey Club's West Region is responsible for the Festival. It increased from three days to four in 2005. Punters who base their entire year around the four-day-long Festival had led the calls for no fifth. They warned that races were diluted with less quality. Ian Renton, who runs Chelteningham Racecourse, said it would be challenging from a turf management perspective.
