Everything could be all set up for the 2019 Cheltenham Festival only to be disrupted by the weather. From our experience with the weather as human beings, we know that the situation can even get to a point that no race will be conducted. It is for this reason that the weather forecast for the 4 days the Cheltenham event will take place is gaining popularity across the internet. As of Tuesday, the first day, you can expect a windy day with light showers and an average temperature of 90C. There is also a 50-50 chance that there will be rain. On Wednesday, it is expected that it will be partly cloudy during the day as is the expectation for Thursday and the average temperatures for the two days will be 90C and 100C respectively. The likelihood for rain on the Gold Cup Day is sixty percent and the average temperature is expected to be 110C. As of now, there haven’t been any indications of any weather hazards dangerous enough to disrupt the activities planned across the four competition days.
If you have been updating yourself in the build-up to the Cheltenham Festival this year, you might have heard that Harry Skelton had taken a few days off race-riding. He is expected to participate in the Ultima Handicap Chase on the back of Crucial Role, the Novice’s Hurdle while on Beakstown and the Pertemps Final while on the back of Notwhatiam. Skelton had suffered a series of falls but after that break, he says he feels fine and he intends to go back to riding on Thursday. His last performance was on Saturday at Newbury where he fell off Falcon Sun in a handicap hurdle while at just the third-last flight. He says that given the resources that they channel towards preparation for Cheltenham, he intends on lifting their banner up high one hundred and ten percent. In the jump jockeys’ championship, Skelton is ranked second from Richard Johnson with just 33 wins between them.
