What a queen mum

Not sure whether this will count as a great moment, but it's certainly a unique one!

Tony McCoy winning just another race..............

Thanks Aunty. I remember watching the race live.

Some horrible falls but I'm pretty sure they were all alright.

I loved Family Business. Sadly, he's now in horsey heaven

He didn't like having his head clipped by the looks of things.

The premature cheer as they walk onto the course for the supreme. Follow by the actual cheer when they set off. Can't beat it.

Not a festival race but Kauto Sta'r BF Chase last year

Was a privilege to have been there

Master Minded winning the 2008 Champion Chase by 19 lengths, totally jaw dropping performance

can't find a video though

Denmans 2nd Hennessey,never known an atmosphere like it at any other meeting ive been to.

Gold Cup 2004. 2 mins 50 secs in. Best Mate being penned in by Carberry on Harbour Pilot. To claim his 3rd Gold Cup. Pure Class.

One Man's Queen Mother Champion Chase was one of my all-time great racing moments. What a superb horse he was; used to break my heart watching him hit the wall in the Gold Cup every year before they dropped him in trip and let his class do the talking.

Dawn Runs Gold Cup win one of best races ive seen in flesh and atmosphere brillant, even though i backed Forgive N Forget. Been to over 25 Festivals best race by long way imo.

Hardy Eustace 2nd Champion Hurdle when Harchibald was still on the bridle half way up the run.

uncle - that was very sweet but his first win was even sweeter as all the Rooster fans were giving it the large in the bookies coming to the last.

Ditto tom

I have a special meomory for racehorses that get pilloried for what they don't win, who then come out and do something amazing. It's probably heresy in a Cheltenham group like this but I'm thinking:

Bloody hell, he should have been a chaser!

Inglis Drever hitting a flat spot on a Thursday in Cheltenham in March before storming up the run-in that he loved flying up to win again. Lump in the throat moment for me was the reception he got on the way back

Long Run....Kauto....Denman, 3 in a line as they turn in

Imperial Commander winning the Gold Cup, hopefully reminding the marketing people and those who bought those pi$$ant little Denman or Kauto badges that racing isn't about 'sides'.

Off topic somewhat but I got that off my chest.

remittance man's jump at the last when winning the arkle,the roar of the crowd at cheltenham when danoli won and the reception for istabraq when he was pulled up in front of the stands in his last race
