The International @ Cheltenham Racecourse: Picture gallery
The International Meeting at Cheltenham Racecourse took place on 9 December 2022. Adverse weather caused turf racing to be largely abandoned this weekend but with a lot of work from the Cheltenham grounds team, they did race on what would have been Day 1 of 2.
Broadcast facilities for the race coverage were provided by NEP, Racetech and ACS for ITV Sport. Racetech also supplied services for Racing TV and for the on-course screens and monitors.
Here you can see a picture gallery from the day, showing the crew and production team capturing the action. Photos by Steve Challes.
