Final race of Gold Cup Day

The Martin Pipe Conditional Jockey's Handicap Hurdle is the final race of the Cheltenham Festival.

This unique contest is exclusively for conditional jockeys, showcasing the rising talent in the sport. Run over a distance of 2 miles and 4½ furlongs (approximately 4,075 meters) on the New Course at Cheltenham, the race features nine challenging hurdles.

The minimum handicap rating for entry can vary each year, but horses must be at least four years old to compete.

History of the Martin Pipe Jockey's Handicap Hurdle

The Martin Pipe Conditional Jockey's Handicap Hurdle, a relatively recent addition to the Cheltenham Festival, was introduced in 2009.

Unlike many Festival races, it has never had an official sponsor. Instead, it honors the legendary National Hunt trainer Martin Pipe, who retired in 2006 after an extraordinary career. Pipe's remarkable achievements include 15 Champion Trainer titles and an impressive 34 Cheltenham Festival victories.

Recent years

Recent Winners

  • 2023: Iroko (Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero, Aidan Kelly)
  • 2022: Banbridge (Joseph O'Brien, Mark McDonagh)
  • 2021: Galopin Des Champs (Willie Mullins, Paul Townend)
  • 2020: Indefatigable (Paul Webber, Rex Dingle)
  • 2019: Early Doors (Joseph O'Brien, Jonjo O'Neill Jr.)

Winning Trends

The Martin Pipe Conditional Jockey's Handicap Hurdle often features different jockeys each year, resulting in no jockey winning multiple times. However, certain trainers have enjoyed consistent success:

  • Willie Mullins: The legendary Irish trainer holds the record with three wins (Sir Des Champs 2011, Don Poli 2014, Killultagh Vic 2015).
  • Joseph O'Brien: After victories in 2019 and 2022, O'Brien's runners always warrant attention.
  • Paul Nicholls: Nicholls has two wins to his name (Ibis du Rheu 2016, Le Prezien 2013).

Ireland has been particularly strong, with six wins in the last seven years. Keep a close eye on runners from these powerful yards in the finale to the Cheltenham Festival.
