2019 Cheltenham Festival is NOT cancelled. 2019 Cheltenham Festival to go ahead after equine flu scare. Horse racing in Britain will resume on Wednesday 13th February after a six-day shutdown following an outbreak of equine flu.

Horese racing was suspended in Britain after three cases of equine flu at Donald McCain’s Cheshire stables. Three further cases were later reported at his yard, a total of 174 racing stables had been placed in lockdown.

Trainers will be assessed before they are given the all-clear to have runners. Ascot will hold a bumper nine-race card on Saturday 16th February including The Denman Chase, which had been due to feature last year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Native River, and the Betfair Hurdle.

A decision to resume racing in a “controlled, risk-managed manner” was unanimously supported by an industry veterinary committee, said the British Horseracing Authority (BHA). “This risk has been assessed and, based on the evidence – and ensuring biosecurity measures are in place – the level of risk is viewed as acceptable.” said the BHA’s chief regulatory officer Brant Dunshea.
