Dunguib: supreme novices
 Moon over Miami : Grand Annual 2nd. Small fortune looked probable for most of the race  Faasel : Triumph hurdle. How he did not win that race, I'll never know. Felt physically sick after that race  Still new festival this year  |

One and only for me, Dawn Run winning the Gold cup, I backed Wayward Lad.

Valiramix
Forgive n Forget Ten Plus. All for the same reason and ALL would have won. |

sorry about aftertming
 not enough room on thread for my losers |

By:
Look at this race on youtube, Wayward Lads jockey would have been banned under yesterday's amended whip rules although the horse was responding to the whip.

A simply sensational performance from MASTER MINDED in what had been one of the most keenly anticipated races of the festival, the five-year-old, the first of his age to succeed in the race's 49 runnings, trouncing last year's winner Voy Por Ustedes by the sort of margin not seen in this event since the days of Badsworth Boy, who won the first of his three successive 2m Champion Chases at the age of eight way back in 1983.
Good Luck All |

Browne's Gazette in the 1985 Champion Hurdle was another stunner for me. Had a decent bet on that - I'm still gutted today whenever I think about it.

By:
I was convinced Alderbrook would win his ch hurdle but it's always pleasing
when they arrive swinging off the bridle. I thought (forget which year) one ch hurdle was wide open and was stunned to see Valiramix hosing up and further stunned when he fell Monsignor. |
|
By:
Actually the most stunned I've been was deffo
Masterminded. |

By:
kauto star when he fell in imperial commanders gold cup ,remember the the gasps of shock from the crowd as the commentator announced and kauto has fallen ,surreal .

|
By:
I often watch Golden Cygnet's win on youtube FOYLESWAR and Im still staggered more than 30 years on. He made a very good field look like selling platers in a matter of strides.

NORTONS COIN - Gold Cup 1990.
Left the whole crowd stunned. |
|
By:
The whole day of Gold Cup 89. With the weather and the joy of Dessie winning, only to be marred by the news of Ten Plus
|
|
By:
Ten Plus being put down.
Best Mate 1st Gold Cup I should have had 10 times more on him. Jodami who I had fancied all season and then backed Docklands Express on the day. I feel that I have at least 3 stories about every race at the festival. |

Norton's Coin jumping like a stag
Pearlyman flying round the best race imo Star Rage pulling me out of a very deep hole ! |

Cheltenham 2000 is collectively the most memorable year for me , if anyone has 7 mins to spare watch this clip and enjoy....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36REhZLDxaY&feature=relmfu Edredon Bleu/Direct Route in one of the best Cheltenham finishes ever The great Istabraq Cavallero winning the foxhunters from the clouds Monsignor creating history by winning 2 consecutive festival races after winning the final race bumper the previous year. Can anyone forget What's up boys winning the handicap hurdle ( 3:57 into the clip ) If that doesn't wet your appetite nothing will |

Hayden - Montelado ?

|
By:
Spot on with your last sentence there HAYDEN. I'm just trying to stir peoples memories of past Festivals in anticipation of this one.

i was watching the 1999 vid in same series
|
|
By:
Great clips Hayden, but 2000 wouldn't be my choice
|
|
By:
Orchadist , apologies if i've named the wrong horse & just going by memory , know Monsignor won the 5.40pm race in 1999 and a 2.00pm race in 2000 but think you're right it was Montelado that did it consecutively.
Good stuff |

Golden Cygnet,the winner of the first race on my first visit to Cheltenham.
Dessies Gold Cup,I think I cried. One Mans Champion Chase,may have cried again. Definitely cried when Rummy won has third National. |

By:
hors la loi in the supreme novices 99, totally slaughtered the field.
noland a few years back to get up in shadow of post in same race denman gold cup win, absolute power house display of relentless galloping. |
|
By:
Norton's Coin - broke track record so far from a fluke
What's Up Boys - jumped the last in 13th place to get up to win ! Baron Blakeney - winning the triumph at 66/1 to give Martin Pipe his first big success |
|
By:
