2013-02-09

Drawing a crowd of over 70,000 racegoers a year, many would call the Gold Cup the National Hunt Festival's prime attraction.

Many would think that over GBP800,000 in presales would accredit the Gold Cup with the title of flagship event. For those who would think that an estimated GBP200,000 lost in purchased tickets ...
