Queen Mother Champion Chase: What time is feature race at Cheltenham 2019 TODAY?
THE Queen Mother Champion Chase is the feature race at Cheltenham today but what time does it start? Express Sport is on hand with all the details.
Altior is heavy favourite to win the Queen Mother Champion Chase this afternoon but he also has a record in his sights.
Victory today will be Altior’s fourth in a row at Cheltenham but his 18th consecutive win overall, which would match the sequence of jumping victories set by Big Buck between 2009 and 2012.
Asked whether making Altior a joint world record holder was on his mind, trainer Nicky Henderson said: "The Big Buck's record did mean something to me until I suddenly realised Winx has won 31 consecutive races.
"Compared to what she's done I fear 18 consecutive wins seems rather insignificant.
"I'll be more interested about the record when Altior gets to 31 as well!"
He added: "He's had a good preparation, apart from interruptions from flu jabs and snow.
"He's been in very good form and his work has been as good as always, which is different class.
"He has the best form but you always have to jump the fences and you don't want anyone to get in your way."
