Jump racing's biggest show of the year Cheltenham Festival has started with more than 230,000 punters expected at the Gloucestershire track in four days.
Around 400 horses are expected to race during the week, with about £250 million wagered on them.
Sports presenter John Inverdale has apologised after an on-air slip up which saw him say the c-word.
During an interview with former jockey John Francome and current rider Lizzie Kelly, Inverdale made the unfortunate gaffe while reflecting on racing days gone by.
He said the phrase 'rose-c***ed glasses', before quickly apologising.
A BBC spokesman said: “It was a slip of the tongue and John apologised immediately afterwards.”
