Usually only the first 3 or 4 finishers have a hard race as the others are eased or pulled up and don't have to gallop the full distance flat out. There are always exceptions but if you backed the winner ante post for the next running yohttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30747749/cheltenham-gold-cup-2017?post_id=550956069#550956069Don't agree.

I don't believe the Gold Cup bottoms horses.

His RPR when winning a second Hennessy was only 1 point below his best and then his third at Newbury and second to Long run were both very closehttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30747749/cheltenham-gold-cup-2017?post_id=550885067#550885067May be Denman didn't quite reproduce his GC win rating but he was still very good and continued to race.

I've had 30 years watching Gold Cups and that's the best winning performance I've seen.

It is a very hard school. Apart from Kauto and Denman, very few recent GC winners have reproduced the run Long Run and Bobsworth both looked goodhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30747749/cheltenham-gold-cup-2017?post_id=550874795#550874795History is littered with Cheltenham Gold Cup and CH winners that don't come back to defend their crowns.
