The Cheltenham Festival is nowadays the biggest event in the racing year, eclipsing Royal Ascot, the Grand National or the Derby. The 2011 event marked 100 years since the first running of the National Hunt Chase, and Robin Oakley's history tells how three days of jump racing beneath Cleeve Hill evolved into a vast sporting event.
