What is the dress code for Cheltenham and has it changed?
Officially there is no dress code at Cheltenham.
But people do tend to dress smartly, with men in suits and women in formal dresses and hats.
However, some restrictions do apply, as organisers warn guests who choose to wear fancy dress to avoid “inappropriate or offensive outfits”, or they may be denied entry.
The organisers eased the dress code last year, stating that they want to make the races more “accessible and inclusive”.
Is Rachael Blackmore riding at Cheltenham 2024?
Yes. Rachael Blackmore will be riding at Cheltenham in 2024.
Blackmore took the sporting world by storm when she won six races at the Cheltenham Festival two years ago.
She is best known for becoming the first female jockey to win at Cheltenham, when she rode Minella Times to victory in the 2021 Aintree Grand National.
Blackmore also won the Gold Cup with A Plus Tard in 2022.
In 2023, Blackmore also rode Ain’t That A Shame.
Her horses for the 2024 Festival have not yet been confirmed.
