Altior has cruised home in the premiere event of the Festival, costing bookies untold millions.
An incredible performance from Altior has seen bookies cursing their luck.
Bookies have had to pay out on the Nicky Henderson horse in spectacular fashion, with a whopping 65% of all bets in the last 24 hours.
As Altior has attracted a monumental amount of punting attention, this will go down as one of the biggest losses of the Festival for bookmakers.
Min finished in second place, running a mighty race himself.
In total, bookies have had to pay out on 18% of all bets again today, meaning a shocker for the trading floors this Festival so far.
Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek said: “Altior confirmed his place as the best horse in training with a characteristically commanding display in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
“He is truly Cheltenham royalty now, with the Mullins duo unable to stop Henderson's star.”
