|} The Coral Cup is a Grade 3 National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run on the Old Course at Cheltenham over a distance of about 2 miles and 5 furlongs (4,225 metres), and during its running there are ten hurdles to be jumped. It is a handicap race, and it is scheduled to take place each year during the Cheltenham Festival in March. The event was established in 1993, and it has been sponsored by Coral throughout its history. The inaugural winner, Olympian, was given a bonus prize of £50,000 for having won the Imperial Cup the previous weekend. The race was promoted to Grade 3 status in 1999. There were high winds on the day of the planned running in 2008, so the Coral Cup was rescheduled and run on Cheltenham's New Course. The distance of the rearranged event was 2 miles and 4½ furlongs. ==Records== Most successful horse: * ''no horse has won this race more than once'' Leading jockey (2 wins): * Barry Geraghty – ''Sky's the Limit (2006), Spirit River (2010)'' * Davy Russell - ''Naiad de Misselot (2008), Carlito Brigante (2011)'' Leading trainer (3 wins): * Martin Pipe – ''Olympian (1993), Big Strand (1997), Ilnamar (2002)'' 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「Coral Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
