Broadway Novices Chase (Brown Advisory)

m

 The Broadway Novices Chase was first run at the 1921 Festival for 5-year-olds and above over 3 miles and 20 fences of the Old Course. It has since been contested under various names, including the Totalisator Champion Novices Chase between 1964 and 1973, the RSA Insurance Group Novices Chase between 1974 and 2020, and more recently the Brown Advisory Festival Chase over 3 miles and half a furlong. A number of horses have used the race as a springboard to success in the Gold Cup in subsequent years.
Early history:-The inaugural running of the Broadway Novices Steeplechase over 3 miles was staged on Thursday 3rd March 1921 when won by Habton (11/8 fav) owned by Mr V Thompson, trained by F Hartigan and ridden by G Smith, beating Lord Coventry's Dart (20/1) and Major Cayzer's Irish Light (7/2) by 8 lengths and the same.
Over the entire history of the race 28% of favourites have been successful, placing the race 11th of the 28 current races.
Over the entire history of the race a level stake bet of £10 on every favourite would have resulted in a £160 loss, placing the race 21st of the current 28 races.
Over the entire history of the race the Irish have been successful 18% of occasions, placing the race 21st of the 28 current races.
