|} The CGA Foxhunter Chase is a National Hunt chase in Great Britain for amateur riders which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run on the New Course at Cheltenham over a distance of about 3 miles and 2½ furlongs (5,331 metres), and during its running there are twenty-two fences to be jumped. It is scheduled to take place each year during the Cheltenham Festival in March. The event is contested over the same course and distance as the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and it is sometimes referred to as the "amateur Gold Cup". It was established in 1904, and the inaugural running was won by Palmy Boy. It was backed by the insurance company Sun Alliance and London in 1972 and 1973, and for the following five years it was run without a sponsor. The art auctioneers Christie's supported the race from 1979 to 2012 and since 2013 it has been sponsored by the Country Gentleman's Association. Qualification for entry in the Foxhunter Chase is based on a horse's previous performances in certain types of race within a specific period. To be eligible a horse must have finished first or second twice in hunter chases, or have won two open point-to-point races, or have won one open point-to-point race and finished first or second in a hunter chase. ==Records== Most successful horse since 1946 (2 wins): * The Callant – ''1956, 1957'' * Whinstone Hill – ''1958, 1960'' * Master – ''1961, 1962'' * Double Silk – ''1993, 1994'' * Fantus – ''1995, 1997'' * Earthmover – ''1998, 2004'' * Salsify - ''2012, 2013'' Leading jockey since 1946 (3 wins): * Colman Sweeney – '' Sleeping Night (2005), Salsify (2012, 2013)'', Leading trainer since 1946 (4 wins): * Richard Barber – ''Rushing Wild (1992), Fantus (1995, 1997), Earthmover (1998)'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CGA Foxhunter Chase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
