Cheltenham Festival, Wednesday

Coral Cup 2m5f, 4yo+

Quote:
SON OF FLICKA landed a monster gamble to give trainer Donald McCain and jockey Jason Maguire their second success of the week following Cinders And Ashes' first-day win.

Available at 66-1 in the morning, Son Of Flicka was sent off 16-1 and powered up the hill to beat Get Me Out Of Here, who ran another blinder at Cheltenham but simply found the winner too well handicapped.

Staying on resolutely, Son Of Flicka scored by three and a half
Nice to have a 14-1 winner.

Cheltenham Festival, Wednesday

Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle (Grade 3) 2m½f, 4yo

Quote:
TRAINER Nicky Henderson's dominance of the Cheltenham Festival extended to a near 3,382-1 four-timer on Wednesday after 40-1 shot Une Artiste sprung a surprise under Jerry McGrath in the Fred Winter.

The victory - Henderson's fifth of the week - brought more milestones as the red-hot trainer set a record for most festival wins in a day and equalled Paul Nicholls' 2009 record for most winners at a festival.

Cheltenham Festival, Wednesday

Weatherbys Champion Bumper (Grade 1) 2m½f, 4-6yo

Quote:
CHAMPAGNE FEVER made all the running to give Willie Mullins an incredible seventh victory in the Champion Bumper.

The all-the-way winner looked certain to be reeled in as they turned for home but he found more under the trainer's son Patrick to foil a gamble on runner-up New Year's Eve
