Cheltenham Gold Cup winners since 1964
Only 5 of the 43 answers werent pointless
3 of the non pointless answers were obvious, one a little harder, and the other one I guess was only picked because one of the 100 must have had a bet on it.

I'd go for Alverton or Little Owl.

By:
As the non pointless answer of course.
|

By:
Dessie must be non pointless
|
|
By:
As would Dawn Run and Best Mate I would have thought Paddy.

*pointless* for Alverton and Little Owl !
|
|
By:
Dessie,Kauto Star and Imperial Commander all scored but Cool Ground would have won it.
|
|
By:
Best Mate was pointless slippy,surprised me that one.
|
|
By:
He only won it three times
 |
|
By:
I would have said Imperial Commander
 |
|
By:
Even though I backed Mr Mulligan with AP @ 14/1 to win it
 |
|
By:
Nortons Coin 100/1
Cool Ground 50/1 Burrough Hill Lad 20/1 AP backed all three at those prices, I suspect they were all pointless, now that would have been the perfect question to get when I was on the show |

By:
There were only five that weren't pointless, pumps. Arkle, Dessie, Kauto Star, Imperial Commander and Bobs Worth.
|
|
By:
Having backed that trio, you obviously didn't need the measly couple of grand you woulda won anyway!
|
|
By:
Funnily enough its probably been my luckiest race unlike the Derby & National etc
The Thinker 16/1 in the morning Cool Dawn 33/1 Were others I backed though I have not had the winner this century  On a level stake Unless I live to be about 300 it will always be a profitable race  |

My Dad was on Cybrandian at huge prices pumps, that was a horror story for the Blue family when The Thinker done him on the run in.

I could easily be one of the rare Betfairians who would not get a pointless answer here as I know the names of very few horses. My guesses of Desert Orchid, Arkle and Best Mate would be a win by sheer fluke.
|
|
By:
Yes hard to believe 100 people would not name Best Mate
|
|
By:
He must have been gutted Slipps
|
|
By:
Just shows what a minority sport horse racing is.
|
|
By:
Yep
Cheltenham is up there with The Ryder Cup and British Lions tours as the most overhyped sporting events. Presented by Sky (or C4/Racing Post in this case ) as events that stop the entire nation ,when in realty only people especially interested in those sports day to day are bothered . |

I'd have gone for Long Run first up and not expected it to be pointless.
