About Us

Cheltenham Pulse was created from a passion for National Hunt racing and, in particular, the Cheltenham Festival.

​

I’ve always been fascinated by the Festival — not just the excitement of the four days themselves, but the history, statistics, trends and patterns that sit behind some of the greatest races in the National Hunt calendar.

​

Cheltenham Pulse is my way of bringing that fascination together in one place.

​

The aim is simple: to provide detailed Cheltenham Festival analysis that is interesting, useful and easy to consume.

​

Rather than simply looking at who has won a race in the past, Cheltenham Pulse looks deeper into the data and history behind the Festival. How old are the typical winners? How many previous runs have they had? Which preparation routes have produced the most winners? What trends keep appearing — and which horses have broken them? 

​

The website brings together this type of analysis across the Festival’s major races, as well as looking at the trainers, jockeys, horses and other factors that help make Cheltenham such a fascinating meeting.

​

I’m not trying to tell you which horse to back. The purpose of Cheltenham Pulse is to give you another perspective — helping you explore the evidence, spot interesting trends and perhaps see a race in a slightly different way.

​

The site has been designed to make that information straightforward to navigate and easy to understand, whether you are a lifelong Cheltenham enthusiast or simply someone who enjoys getting deeper into the Festival each year.

​

And this is only the beginning.

​

Cheltenham Pulse will continue to develop, with new analysis, features and content being added as we build towards each Festival.

​

If, like me, you love National Hunt racing and can’t wait for the Cheltenham Festival, I hope you enjoy exploring Cheltenham Pulse.

​

Enjoy the Festival. Explore the trends. Find your pulse.
