The 2022 Cheltenham Festival saw a lot of records broken:
- It saw the highest attendance ever with every single day breaking its own record
- Willie Mullins won an unprecedented 10 races at the meeting
- Rachel Blackmore became the first female jockey to win the Gold Cup with A Plus Tard
The Irish retained the Prestbury Cup again beating GB by 18 to 10, although not quite as bad as in 2021 when the score was 23-5. Still, no one can take away from the fact that Mullins trained ten winners including the Gold Cup winner.
Festival legend and two time Grand National winner Tiger Roll also got a huge send off as he narrowly missed out on a fourth Cross-Country chase win only to be beaten by his stable mate Delta Work.
It wasn’t all happy times, though, as the death of seven horses at the meeting drew further criticism of safety measures. That was more than in the three previous years combined.
Below you can find a full list of all the races and winners at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival.
