About the Mares' Chase
The Mares' Chase is a Grade 2 chase at Cheltenham which is open to mares aged five or older. It is run on the New Course over a distance of approximately 2 miles and 4½ furlongs (2 miles 4 furlongs and 127 yards, or 4,139 metres), and there are seventeen fences to be jumped. It is scheduled to be the penultimate race at the Festival every year, after the Foxhunters and before the Martin Pipe.
The newest race at the Festival, the Mares' Chase doesn't have much history. Many in racing lamented its introduction due to further dilution of the Festival, but to the race's credit, it has attracted a decent field in both runnings and seen some exciting finishes.
Impervious outbattled Allegorie De Vassy to claim victory in the 2023 Mares' Chase, as the well fancied pair pulled well clear of the rest of the field.

Where can I watch the Mares' Chase
Watch the race live on ITV1 and Racing TV who also offer options to stream the race via their streaming services.
Alternatively most bookmakers offer a free live horse racing stream allowing you to watch the race after you've placed a bet.
Who is the most iconic winner of the Mares' Chase
With just two to choose from and both winning for the same trainer, it is hard to pick which of Colreevy and Elimay are the more iconic of the winners of the Mares' Chase. Willie Mullins trained both and in 2021 Colreevy defeated Elimay convincingly, stamping herself as the better horse. However, Elimay's win a year later and her redemption arc coupled with the exciting finish means she wins the vote by the slenderest of margins in our eyes.
Are there any trials for the Mares' Chase?
There is a plentiful Mares programme across both Great Britain and Ireland building towards the Cheltenham Festival. Often the mares that take part will stick to the company of their own sex leading into the big race on the Friday of the Festival, however, they are not limited to this and Colreevy in particular was mixing it in open company before her victory in the inaugural race.
Who is the most successful jockey in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle?
Paul Townend and Mark Walsh share the honour of being the winning-most Mares' Chase riders with one apiece. Walsh was aboard Elimay in 2022 for her success as retained rider for JP McManus, while Townend rode Colreevy to her win back in 2021.
Who is the most successful trainer in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle?
It's a case of Willie Mullins first the rest nowhere in the leaderboard of Mares' Chase winning trainers. it would be a brave punter who bets against him making it three in a row come March of 2023 too...
