What Happened in 2022?

Third Wind took the 2022 Pertemps Handicap Hurdle in great style, just managing to get up in the closing stages, and win by a neck. He had plenty in front of him, coming up the hill, but managed to get through the field to come out on top.

A History of The Cheltenham Pertemps

The Pertemps Hurdle is a Grade 3 Handicap Hurdle race for five year olds or older which is run over three miles on Cheltenham’s New Course. It was first introduced in 1974, replacing a previous race at the Cheltenham Festival – the George Duller Handicap Hurdle. The race’s early sponsor was Coral bookmakers when it was known as ‘Coral Golden Hurdle Final’. There have been several other race sponsors since 1993 but the current one, Pertemps, has been the sponsor since 2002.

The Pertemps Final race is preceded by five months of qualification races. To qualify for the Final race at the Cheltenham Festival, a horse must finish in the top six in a qualifying race. There were 14 qualification races in 2020–21, all in Britain. Previously, Pertemps Hurdle qualifying races were also held in Ireland and France.

Jonjo O’Neill and Gordon Elliott have both won the race three times each in the last twenty renewals. The most successful horse in this race was Willie Wumpkins who won three on the spin back in 1979, 1980 and 1981.
