ODD ALTERNATIVES TO CHELTS

The "pints and punts" extravaganza may be over for another year, but it turns out there are plenty of other wild equestrian sporting events around the world to admire. Here JAMES MOORE looks at some extraordinary spectacles involving the gee-gees...

WELL that's another brilliant Cheltenham Festival put to bed.

And what a year it was.

It was racing at its very finest.

Hundreds of thousands of punters at the racecourse enjoyed a wonderful time boozing and betting.

While millions had a blast following it all on the telly back home.

As always your Daily Star was ahead of the pack with our fantastic coverage.

The only downside is that we now have to wait another 12 months for it all to start again. But never fear.

The brilliant thing about horse racing is it's on almost all the time.

It won't be long before the Grand National at Aintree next month.

And we also have a mouthwatering flat racing season to come.

We'll be there for every gallop!
