Peterborough Chase Trends
Normally staged at Huntingdon racecourse over 2m 4½f the Peterborough Chase is a Grade Two chase run in December each year. The contest often attracts some decent names from the jumping world, with horses like Edredon Bleu, Best Mate, Racing Demon and Monet’s Garden all recent previous winners of the valuable race.
**Note**: The 2020 renewal was called off on Sunday 6th December at Huntingdon and will now be staged at Cheltenham on Friday 11th Deember 2020.
The event has also been a fair guide for that season’s Ryanair Chase, run at the Cheltenham Festival, with seven winners going onto finish 7th or better in that contest – including last year’s winner – Josses Hill, who ended up 5th in the Ryanair Chase.
Trainer Henrietta Knight, who is now retired, has dominated the race in recent times with a staggering 8 victories since 1998, while Nicky Henderson landed the spoils four times back in the nineties, and more recently in 2013 with Riverside Theatre, in 2016 with Josses Hill and in 2017 & 2019 with Top Notch.
Here at GEEGEEZ we look back at recent winners and highlights the key trends ahead of the 2020 renewal – this year run on Sunday 6th December.
