2020 Cheltenham Festival Results

The headline story from the 2020 Cheltenham Festival was the Gold Cup darling, Al Boum Photo. This horse became the first since Best Mate to win back-to-back Gold Cups. The Willie Mullins-trained horse shrugged off a late fightback from Santini to prevail. Trainer Nicky Henderson still had a successful festival, with his mare Epatante romping to victory in the Champion Hurdle.

The hugely impressive Altior maintained his unbeaten form over fences by completing back-to-back victories in the Queen Mother Champion Chase. Paisley Park justified his pre-race favouritism in the Stayers’ Hurdle with a comfortable victory.

2018 Cheltenham Festival Results

The hot topic at the 2018 Cheltenham Festival was the head-to-head battle between Native River and Might Bite in Friday’s Gold Cup. Colin Tizzard’s Native River eventually proved too strong for his rival and the rest of the field to bag Tizzard his inaugural Gold Cup trophy. Meanwhile Penhill graduated from winning 2017’s Albert Bartlett race to win the Stayers’ Hurdle a year later.

2014 Cheltenham Festival Results

Jim Culloty couldn’t have wished for a better Cheltenham Festival in 2014 by winning the Gold Cup with Lord Windermere in what was a relatively weak field.

2011 Cheltenham Festival Results

Big Zeb was a major favourite to secure back-to-back Champion Chase victories at the 2011 Cheltenham Festival, but was usurped by a fine race from Sizing Europe. Jockey, Ruby Walsh bagged his first Champion Hurdle win aboard Hurricane Fly but was unable to ride Kauto Star to victory in the Gold Cup as Long Run romped to a surprise win. In doing so, he helped Sam Waley-Cohen become the first amateur rider in three decades to win the prestigious race.

2006 Cheltenham Festival Results

All the talk before the 2006 Cheltenham Festival was about whether or not Hardy Eustace was capable of making it a hat-trick of Champion Hurdle wins. Unfortunately for him, he couldn’t have accounted for a barnstorming run from Brave Inca to claim the victory with ease. It was another year for Irish racing fans, as Irish-trained Newmill and War of Attrition claimed the Champion Chase and Gold Cup respectively.
