Cheltenham Festival 2022 Day Two: 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 two providing us with yet another fantastic day of racing.

Last year was a fantastic spectacle on day two, Rachael Blackmore won again with Bob Olinger, we saw Put The Kettle On take the Queen Mother Champion Chase and we rounded off the day with Sir Gerhard just nicking it in the Champion Bumper.

The feature race of day two’s events has got to be the Queen Mother Champion Chase, but there are plenty of other great races to watch throughout the day with some extremely talented jockeys and horses.

So – let’s not hold our horses. Here’s everything you need to know about Day Two 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 onITV. 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 Wednesday 16th March 2022, with the first race taking place at 1:30 PM GMT.

Wednesday’s racing is kicked off with the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle.

As expected, Sir Gerhard is the clear favourite for this. He’s leaps and bounds ahead of the rest and will certainly take some stopping.

Journey With Me and Stage Star could be in with an outside chance, but we think this one is Sir Gerhard’s to lose.

Winner Prediction – Sir Gerhard

Race two of day two is the Festival Novices’ Chase.
