Mares Hurdle

Mares Hurdle

The Mares’ Hurdle is a Grade 1 hurdle run over 2m4f and restricted to mares.

It commemorates David ‘the Duke’ Nicholson, who won four races at the Festival as a jockey and 17 as a trainer.

Irish champion trainer Willie Mullins has dominated the Mares’ Hurdle, having won nine of the 14 runnings including the six in a row with star mare Quevega.
