Chester Cup

Last Ran: 7th May 2008

Held at Chester racecourse the Chester Cup is a flat horse race which is open to horses of four year of age and above. Race distance is two miles two furlongs and carries a prize of £120.000.

The race is presently sponsored by Totesport and has a history going as far back as 1824. The meeting which is held in May is Chesters biggest and is always very well attended.

The race itself is a handicap race where the best stayers all go into battle around this demanding course. Well known for its short run in it proves difficult for the horses to produce a last minute burst of speed. It is therefore important to consider this when looking to pick the winner here, perhaps looking for those who like to keep in with the pace.
