Great to see a horse that danced every dance this season win the Gold Cup. A true champion, longevity & ability to bounce back from defeat. A great racehorse.
MY FIRST CHELTENHAM was 2008.
The Supreme had 8/1 co-favourites of 3 in Binocular, Pigeon Island and Muirhead with 17-2 joint 2nd favourites in Cork All Star and Captain Cee Bee.
Tidal Bay won the Arkle.
Katchit won the Champion Hurdle.
Garde Champetre won the Cross Country.
25 years ago today, Khayrawani won the Coral Cup for Christy Roche, Fran Berry and JP McManus. The young fella in the lovely red shirt is Christy’s son, Padraig. Today, Padraig will saddle Brazil to try and win the same race for the same owner.
Diligent Harry’s owners looked rightly pleased with his win scooping 31 grand in the Hever at Southwell. Will they be quite so pleased when they see the horse he thrashed at Lingfield, Annaf, won £944k in Saudi an hour later?
