BOODLES CHELTENHAM GOLD CUP CHASE (Grade 1) (1) |
Distance: 3m 2f 70y (New) |
| Prize: £351,687 Age: 5yo+ Race Type: Chase | Going: Gd/Sft |
A representative field for the Cheltenham Gold Cup, lacking really only the winner of the Irish Gold Cup Conflated, and it looked an open contest beforehand, with not a lot to choose between the pick of the field on their best form, a close contest continuing to look on the cards for much of the way, the pace ordinary on the first circuit, plenty still with a chance and going okay 3 out, the winner in a bit of a pocket as last season's winner Minella Indo kicked for home, before he picked up in the straight and stormed up the run-in in remarkable fashion, the winning margin the widest in the race since Master Oats scored by the same distance in the mud in 1995, the winner's superiority over the second somewhat exaggerated, his stable companion finishing rather tamely, though clearly A Plus Tard deserves his place at the head of the staying chasing pecking order.
