The Mares’ Hurdle is a Grade 1 race that covers a distance of 2 miles and 4 furlongs. The race is open to mares aged four years or older and is run on the Old Course. It features 10 hurdles to be jumped and has been held since 2008.
The Mares’ Hurdle has produced some legendary winners such as Quevega, who won the race a record six times in a row from 2009 to 2014. Other notable winners include Apple’s Jade, Benie Des Dieux and Honeysuckle.
Will Smith and Dave Young assess every race at the Cheltenham Festival and will only put up a selection when they feel the price is right. The Mares’ Hurdle is usually one they pay close attention to, with the race often throwing up angles the market hasn’t fully caught on to. Both analysts have a solid record of spotting value in these slightly less headline-grabbing Grade 1s, so any Mares’ Hurdle tips from them are always worth a second look.
In the build-up to the Festival, you can expect the occasional ante-post view from Will or Dave if they’re confident a mare is priced a touch bigger than she should be. Their early takes can be especially useful in a division where form lines develop quickly throughout the season. If you prefer to wait, they’ll also have Mares’ Hurdle tips available once the final field is confirmed, giving you a clearer picture of the likely pace, ground, and where the value sits on the day.
Some of the stronger fancies for the Mares’ Hurdle may even appear in Will Smith’s daily EW Lucky 15 during Cheltenham week. His returns from those bets have been impressive in recent years and they remain one of the most-followed features on WhichBookie.
