Staged at Haydock Park racecourse the Betfair Chase (Registered as the Lancashire Chase) is a Grade One race and is run over a slightly longer trip (3m1f). The contest is a fairly new one, being first run in 2005 and takes place in November each season.
Trainer Paul Nicholls has made the race his own, winning the decent prize 6 times in the last 17 years, including four times with Kauto Star, while the popular grey Bristol De Mai has landed the pot three times in the last 8 years and giving his trainer – Nigel Twiston-Davies – his fourth success in the contest. While the Tizzard yard is another to have on your radar - they’ve won four of the last 12.
In 2022 we saw the Dan Skelton-trained Protektorat win the race in easy fashion to give the Dan Skelton yard their first win in the race and for the last two years the Venetia Williams-trianed Royale Pagaille has won for popular owner Rich Ricci.
Here at Geegeez, we are on hand with all the key stats ahead of the 2025 renewal - this year run on Saturday 22nd November.
