BOBS WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD.

Quote:
Bobs Worth justified 11/4 favouritism in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Not sighted since landing the Hennessy on his only start of the season, the eight-year-old was defending an unbeaten record of four previous wins at Cheltenham but looked in trouble when Long Run and Sir Des Champs set sail for home rounding the turn.
But Barry Geraghy didn't panic on Bobs Worth and his stamina kicked in approaching two out, before taking the lead at the last, and he stuck to his guns to pass the post seven lengths clear of Sir Des Champs.
Geraghty said: "I'd love to be happier. All we can think about is John Thomas McNamara. We just hope and pray to God he's OK. This is a brilliant, he is a gorgeous horse and he has a great attitude. He never travelled, he struggled on that ground, but he kept fighting.
