Abstract/Contents:Profiles the Cheltenham Festival at the Cheltenham Racecourse in the United Kingdom. Describes the difficulties in maintaining the quality of the racecourse and the festival. States that the "management of the grass is aimed at producing a dense, upright and actively growing sward particularly into the autumn and early winter." Explains that the "element of turf management is critical in developing a strong grass sward and also in ensuring that acceptable growing and ground conditions are produced for racing, given that the aim is to have good or good to soft going for jumping." Emphasizes the importance of consistently fine-tuning turf management techniques due to the changing weather patterns and racecourse users.
