Tell us your first Cheltenham Festival memory?
I’m a bit embarrassed by how recent this will be, but neither my friends nor family had any interest in racing when I was growing up, so mine developed only when I started working in an independent betting shop in my late teens. My earliest Cheltenham memory is sheer confusion at why Dunguib didn’t win the 2010 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. All the punters thought he’d win. He was odds-on. Those types nearly always win, I thought. Needless to say, that was a steep learning curve.
