About the Foxhunter Chase Challenge Cup

The Foxhunter Chase Challenge Cup is the UK’s Foxhunter Chase championship. The race is ungraded, and features 5-year-old and above racehorses and amateur jockeys. Because the race is run over the same 3 mile 2½ course as the Cheltenham Gold Cup, it is sometimes referred to as the Amateur Gold Cup.

22 fences are jumped during the race. The Foxhunter Chase Challenge Cup has a tendency to produce repeat winners, with several horses taking the title twice in a row. One of these, Earthmover, performed the unusual feat of winning back the title after a five year interval.

Betting on the Foxhunter Chase Challenge Cup

The combination of amateur riders with horses of modest ability makes for a particularly unpredictable races. The accuracy of the market in picking genuine contenders can vary wildly – favourites do win with reasonable frequency, but so do horses priced over 10/1. Looking at recent winners, decent form is a requirement to take this race.

A win last time out is not essential, but a place is, and the horse should have won within its last three races. Not all contestants will have run over 3 miles previously, but those that have, and did so recently, deserve special attention.
