Final race of Thursdays Racing

The Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup is handicap chase that is run over 3 miles and 2 furlongs, with 21 fences for the horses.

It is another race that is especially for amateur jockeys and is open to horses aged five and above. The race is one of the lower in terms of prize money at the festival, with the winner receiving £36,668

History of the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup

The Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup was established in 1946 and added to the Cheltenham Festival as the Kim Muir Amateur Riders' Steeplechase. This race, a tribute to Major Kim Muir, a cavalry officer who tragically died in World War II, was introduced by his sister, Mrs. Evan Williams.

In 1991, the name was expanded to honor the highly successful trainer Fulke Walwyn, a legend with 40 Cheltenham Festival wins under his belt. Notably, the race remains unsponsored, making it a unique tribute to both Muir and Walwyn within the Festival.

Recent years

The Kim Muir has seen exciting developments in recent years. While Jamie Codd has certainly shown dominance with four wins, other talents have emerged. Here's a breakdown:

  • Jamie Codd's Dominance: Codd's victories aboard Character Building (2009), Junior (2011), The Package (2015), and Cause of Causes (2016) solidify his place in the race's history.
  • Other Notable Winners: Derek O'Connor piloted Any Second Now to victory for Ted Walsh and JP McManus in 2019, proving that Codd's reign can be challenged.
  • Trainer Trends: While there's been diversity in winning trainers, David Pipe and Donald McCain stand out with two wins each in the past 12 years. Nicky Henderson's earlier double victory (2002-2005) is also noteworthy.
  • A Record Yet to Fall: The late Fred Rimell remains the trainer to beat, having won the Kim Muir four times (1951, 1955, 1961, 1977). His record stands as a testament to his skill.
