It is considered one of the first major chases of the National Hunt season and serves as a significant indicator for horses aiming at other major chases later in the season, including the King George VI Chase and the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Some of the most famous horses in jump racing history have won the Betfair Chase. Kauto Star, trained by Paul Nicholls and ridden by Ruby Walsh, won the race an impressive four times (in 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2011).

The Betfair Chase often serves as a season-opener for top-class chasers and offers a clue into the form and potential of horses that might be competing in major races later in the season.

Like many other races in the National Hunt calendar, the Betfair Chase is celebrated not only for its sporting significance but also for the broader festive and social experience it offers to spectators.
