Mares Hurdle History
The first Mares Hurdle was run in 2008 when taken out by Whiteoak, which was trained by Donald McCain, Jr and ridden by Jason Maguire.
It was given Grade 1 status in 2015 and it was originally run on the New Course, but has since run on the Old Course since 2009.

The Mares Hurdle didn’t become a Cheltenham Festival classic straight out of the gate, that was until Quevega scored six consecutive wins and put the race on the map.
Quevega was a French-bred champion that was trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Ruby Walsh in all six wins. Her most recent win came in 2014 as a 10-year-old, making her feat even more incredible.
The winning streak of Mullins didn’t stop at six, as he trained Glens Melody and Vroum Vroum Mag to win eight in a row. He returned a winner in 2018 with Benie Des Dieux.
Having fallen at the final flight and allowed Roksana to claim victory, Benie Des Dieux was the strong favourite to regain her Mares' Hurdle crown in 2020.
Sadly, for Willie Mullins, Benie Des Dieux market rival, Honeysuckle slipped through on the inside rounding the final bend and stayed on to extend her unbeaten career record.
