Our panel of Emmet Kennedy, Jaime Wrenn and leading bloodstock agent Tom Malone look back on a sensational Cheltenham Festival, analysing the biggest performances from the Grade 1 races across all four days. It was a remarkable week for Irish-trained horses, who landed 11 of the 13 Grade 1 races and 12 of the 15 Graded contests, while British-trained runners dominated the handicaps, winning nine of the 12 handicap races. We begin with Gaelic Warrior’s Cheltenham Gold Cup victory, providing a fifth win in the race for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend, who also became the winning-most jockey in the race’s 101-year history. The panel discuss what Gaelic Warrior could achieve next and who might emerge as the biggest challenger to his crown next season. 🏆 GOLD CUP & CHAMPIONSHIP RACES We assess the future plans for: • Gaelic Warrior• Jango Baie• Inothewayurthinkin• Grey Dawning• The Jukebox Man ⚡ CHAMPION CHASE SHOCK Odds-on favourite Majborough became the seventh odds-on favourite beaten in the last decade as stablemate Il Etait Temps stormed to victory in the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
