Cheltenham Festival 2022 Day Three: How To Watch, Tips and Everything You Need To Know

Cheltenham season is upon us, which means nail-biting races, photo finishes and lots more, with day three providing us with yet another fantastic day of racing.

Day three in 2021 once again provided us with some impeccable racing, we saw big wins from The Shunter, Flooring Porter and Mrs Milner last year – no relation to James.

Cheltenham is finally getting back to its old self this year, the fact fans are back is generating such a buzz around the festival, and has proved once again that sport is nothing without the fans after a tainted 2021 Cheltenham Festival.

So – let’s not hold our horses. Here’s everything you need to know about Day Three of Cheltenham Festival 2022.

The races are all being televised, but they are split between two TV Companies. Racing TV (Sky Channel 426) will be showing all of the races at Cheltenham; however, the first five races each day will be on ITV. Coverage starts at 1 pm each day.

The races on ITV will be free to watch, but Sky Racing TV is part of a Sky subscription. It costs £10 on top of your subscription a month.

Day two of the Cheltenham Festival begins on Thursday 17th March 2022, with the first race taking place at 1:30 PM GMT.

We kick off day three with the Turners Novices Chase. A four-horse race.

Bob Olinger and Galopin Des Champ are the red-hot favourites for this one, they have both proven to be exceptional runners.

We’re going against Bob Olinger here, Galopin Des Champ is an absolute monster. We think he’ll take this one.

Winner Prediction – Galopin Des Champ

Race two is the Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle.

Winter Fog goes into this as the favourite, he’s performed really well on his debut for Emmet Mullins. Alaphilippe and Folcano also high on the shortlist, but
