how he feels about overtaking nicky henderson.tart training year ambition is to maybe get one win at cheltenham, you don't dream of being the leading trainer so it comes as a huge surprise, but delighted at the same time. the other big race is the ryanair chase, same time. the other big race is the rya nair chase, worth more same time. the other big race is the ryanair chase, worth more money than the stayers hurdle is, that went to an irish trained horse, but no fairy tale. michael o'leary sponsored the race, he had never won the race before so he was over the moon but he had a hard race last time at ascot and maybe still had heavy legs and he pulled up halfway around, so is lifted to a horseshoe won the race is lifted to a horseshoe won the ra ce la st is lifted to a horseshoe won the race last year but got nabbed at the last. they said they would take the horse cue card home and have a look at it, the important thing was that he was safe and sound and would be 0k. he's coming here for the seventh year, he won eight years ago, 1

he beat off might bite who nicky henderson was training and he was hoping to become the first trainern history to win the first trainer in history to win the big three here at the cheltenham and he only won the champion hurdle, the champion chase and he was hoping to make it a hat trick but not to be. not very ended up finishing second. a brave third—place quite a long way behind in that final finishing post for the gold cup but it's all gone to native river. the trainer making a person disappointment for him last year. richard johnson winning his second gold cup at tell mama and native river, the second favourite winning the dual and jump racing's round. richard johnson, he was brilliant on that horse. i don't think many gold cup winners make all of the running and do all of the jumping cup winners make all of the running and do all of thejumping and you could see him setting the jumped up about six strides out. that is a long stride up, the words would come every time and he's away from the fence very quickly as well which in racing, that's very important. and he stays very well. su

also for his trainer, nicky henderson, who won yesterday in the champion hurdle, and once again todayon chase. he kept hisjumping together, he was off the right for a moment, but as soon as he pulled him out from behind the other horses, coming to the second last, you could just see him pick it up, but gears changed, and it was game over in a matter of strides. so we saw one big name show exactly why he‘s a champion today andy, but did we see a star of the future as well? that‘s right, sam crow, this new wonder horse from ireland, such high expectations, and he certainly lived up expectations, and he certainly lived up to his billing in the first race of the day. a quite brilliant performance from sam crowe as he claimed a comprehensive victory, 18—year—old jack kennedy was superb writing on board, as sam crowe finished ahead of black op in second place, and next destination in third place. sam crowe, very much a horse to watch for the future. as far as tomorrow‘s action goes, the future —— feature race is the stayers hurdle, which could be a very emotional race if one of the favourit
