I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but the Cheltenham Festival is just around the corner. It seems like only yesterday the horses who won races at last year's festival were being quoted for races at this year's festival, yet here we are, mere days away from finding out their price for next year's festival after winning at this year's festival.
