THE CHELTENHAM Festival is rolling on at pace at Prestbury Park.
We’re down to the final two races of the day…and unlike the first five they WON’T be broadcast live on ITV 1.
How to watch 4.50 Mares’ Novice Hurdle
ITV 1 are showing this year’s Festival and are broadcasting the first FIVE races of each day.
But the final two races – in this case the Mares’ Novice Hurdle at 4.50pm and the Kim Muir Challenge Cup at 5.30pm – aren’t being shown on the free-to-air channel.
Racing TV will be showing the action, which you can also live stream via online bookmakers if you have an account.
You can find Racing TV on Sky channel 426, while subscribers can also stream on their official website.
