Last Ran: 14th March 2008
The Vincent O'Brien County Handicap Hurdle brings to a close the Cheltenham Festival in March.
A large field usually awaits, with up to thirty runners it can seem a difficult task to select the .winner but the favourites do have some success.
The race distance is two miles and a furlong and is open to five year old horses and above.
Novice horses generally do well here and the festival is usually brought to a spectacular end with this event, needless to say being the last race of the festival betting activity is huge.
Key Trends for the County Hurdle
- 32 of the last 33 renewals were won by horses 16/1 or less in price
- Just 4 winners since 1959 were older than seven years old
