Cheltenham Festival Favourites
In 2025, nine of the 28 Festival races were won by the favourite (including one joint-favourite). That's 32% won by the market leader.
That figure matches the totals from both 2024 and 2023, while there were 12 winning favourites in 2022 (43%) and eight in both 2021 and 2020 (29%).
Across this six-year period, fewer than half of the odds-on favourites were successful, with just 16 of 35 winning.
Indeed, there have been 14 odds-on favourites at the last two Festivals alone (11 trained by Willie Mullins).
