Cheltenham, Friday

Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) 3m

Quote:
BRINDISI BREEZE, trained in Scotland by Lucinda Russell, made just about all the running to land the Albert Bartlett from hot-favourite Boston Bob, to give the trainer and jockey Campbell Gillies a first success at the festival.

The winner was returned at 7-1, with 6-5 shot Boston Bob finishing ahead of Grand Vision for second

Cheltenham, Friday

Vincent O'Brien County Handicap Hurdle (Grade3) 2m1f

Quote:
TONY MCCOY had to wait until the final day of the festival but finally bagged a winner when Alderwood overcame a difficult path in running to take things up after the last and surge clear for the 16-time champion jockey.

THE JCB Triumph Hurdle - the opening race on the final day of the Cheltenham Festival - produced a shock when 33-1 chance Countrywide Flame charged home under Dougie Costello.

Cheltenham, Friday

Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup (Grade 1) (Class 1) 3m 2 1/2f , New, 5yo+

Quote:
SYNCHRONISED outstayed his rivals up the famous Cheltenham hill to give jump racing's leading owner JP McManus a first ever win in the Gold Cup.

The improving nine-year-old won at 8-1 from The Giant Bolster who ran a massive race to finish second at 50-1 with favourite Long Run finishing in third at 7-4.

Kauto Star, who was trying to win the race for a third time was pulled up with more than a circuit to go.
Could not happen to a nicer trainer and jockey and also thank god the great Kauto Star is safe and sound after pulling up on the first circuit.
