The highly anticipated Cheltenham Festival 2023 is now well underway, and the first day of racing did not disappoint. It was an explosive start to the four-day festival, with a number of races and unforgettable performances. Here are all the race finishes from day one of the Cheltenham Festival 2023:
The first race of the day was the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, which saw a thrilling finish. Favourite Al Boum Photo took the lead early on, but it was eventually pipped at the post by the second favourite, Appreciate. The closing stages were tense, but Appreciate held on to win by just half a length.
Next up was the Racing Post Arkle Chase, which saw another exciting finish. All eyes were on hot favourite Shishkin, who ran an incredible race to win by seven lengths. The Colin Tizzard-trained Chantry House took second place, with Captain Guiness coming in third.
The Ultima Handicap Chase was a tricky race to call, and it was the outsider, Horse No.14 that came out on top. Trained by Willie Mullins, the horse put in a strong run on the home straight to win by four lengths. Second place went to Happygolucky, with Espoir De Guye in third.
The fourth race of the day was the Champion Hurdle, and it was a closely-fought contest between a number of horses. But in the end, it was the impressive Goshen that took the victory. Trained by Gary Moore, the seven-year-old surged clear on the home straight to win by six lengths. Honeysuckle took second place, with last year’s winner, Epatante, coming in third.
The Mares’ Hurdle was dominated by the hugely talented Concertista, who won by an impressive 12 lengths. Trained by Willie Mullins, the horse put in a dazzling display of speed and stamina to claim its third victory at Cheltenham. Second place went to Hook Up, with Glens of Antrim in third.
The final race of the day was the National Hunt Chase, which saw another surprise victory. The outsider, Bob Olinger, put in a tremendous performance to win by five lengths. Trained by Henry De Bromhead, the horse made a stunning move on the final bend, leaving the rest of the field trailing in its wake. Second place went to Fiddlerontheroof, with Galvin in third.
Overall, it was an unforgettable day of racing at the Cheltenham Festival 2023. With plenty more action still to come over the remaining three days, it’s clear that this year’s event is set to be one of the best ever.
Firstly thank you honeysuckle owners for retiring this great mare because one like she don't come along very often constitution hill amazing performance second best I ever seen in a champion hurdle but Derek fox ride was the best ride I have seen since ruby Welsh on champagne fever
The horse in the final race that fell died from that tumble… Horrific.
Needed byker to win for 1000 of 20 pence

Horse racing has caught up with football in being the most anti-English sport in the world. English jockeys are becoming scarcer and scarcer and an English jockey in a race in Scotland is as rare as rocking horse manure.
Amazing first day great start winning on marine nationale them some beautiful performances from CH and HS as well as the rest of winners who seemed pretty deserving I’ve done quite well.
Derek fox ride on corach rambler was as good as I have seen in a long time great ride
Mj Sullivan another Ruby Walsh great future
Where is Martin "knowledge is power" Lewis?
Grime times £600 if commercial energy had won, ran out of steam just in the last furlong!
Cutting out the fall from GAillard's race?
What a ride on mr incredible!!! Was a game of road rash turning for home
bookies got a sore face today love it
Marie's National caught the eye. Despite a wide trip EASILY ran down Facile Vega and won going away handily. El Faviola has improved and beat Jonbon on the square and thought every winner earned it and clearly best.
Gaillard du mesnil what a machine!
What a absolutely fantastic day..Stunning
Honeysuckle…WOW…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
derek fox with the best ride of the day!
Was there today , had so many 2nd's including a lump on Love Envoi , saw Gordon Elliot at the final flight when he came onto the course to watch The Goffer's race. Lumped on Jazzy Matty and saved the day. OI OI saveloy – Phew!!!
Brilliant commentating. Hats off sir. Made it extremely exciting.
Great day racing some great rides and a really poor ride from townend on facile vega way too early
A weeks worth of emotion in one day. Incredible. 3 more days of the most extraordinary racing this majestical sport has to offer.
Fantastic day 1 this year
Patrick Mullins should be on the fav not Paul towarnd better jockey
Man facile had me down early with that last jump but honeysuckle got me up in the end only 2 races I touched.
Just when you think Constitution hill reaction was amazing, along comes Honeysuckle, got the chills and a teardrop in the eye after it
a great truely great day
What a day. Constitution hill what a horse. Ain't nothing beating him during his reign now .
Good to see you edit out Dysart Dynamo’s fall in the Arkle. Horrible to see. Just glad he’s okay.
Great to see Constitution Hill live up to the reputation he’s forged for himself and Honeysuckle go out with a great win…a great days racing!
