Cant believe this can be accurate. It must be due to be reassessed.

Im sorry but as good a performance as that was today the winner shouldnt and/or couldnt be nearly 11 seconds faster than standard.

An impossibility.

It was Sam.
Even the Hunter Chase was only 3.3 seconds above standard (albeit 13.3 slower than GW).
This is what can happen when the COTC doesn't flood the Course

looks to be the fastest gold cup time since sizing john in 2017
which incidentally was the last cheltenham similar to most of the previous 20+ before 2017 ie run on ground that was not to some degree soft

its a fresh strip of ground for the fri chases every year that makes a big difference too

Apologies, Im not saying the time was wrong but that the standard needs urgently amended.

I wouldnt trust what any CoC says about the going or the race distances if they licked my kna****s.
