Welcome back to the Soul of Sport. For our latest episode of the series, ANDY HOOPER travelled to Cheltenham Racecourse in Gloucestershire for the iconic Cheltenham Festival which took place last week.
Over the four-day event, an estimated 280,000 people came to witness the best horses, jockeys and trainers battling it out across 27 races, with the Glenfarclas Cross-County Chase abandoned due to heavy rain.
The excitement, anguish and elation from Cheltenham was felt by millions more watching from afar in what is no doubt one of the greatest weeks in the British sporting calendar. At this year's Festival, our man captured all the emotion, drama and storylines, using a Nikon Z9 and Z8 Camera, and 24-70mm, 70-200mm and 400mm lenses.
