Absolutely sensational stuff from Rachael Blackmore and A Plus Tard to win the 2022 Cheltenham Gold Cup, turning the tables on last year's winner Minella Indo.
Blackmore is the first female rider to ever win the Cheltenham Gold Cup and she did it in style, beating Minella Indo by at least 15 lengths. Henry de Bromhead has a 1-2 in the Gold Cup for a second year in succession.
1. A Plus Tard 3/1
2. Minella Indo 7/1
3. Protektorat 10/1
@rachaelblackmor is a Gold Cup heroine with a sensational victory in the Blue Riband event, leading home a 1-2 for @HenrydeBromhead

Some incredibly sad news to bring you, Ginto has had to be put down after picking up that injury on the home straight.
Our thoughts are with the connections.

What a brilliant performance that was. Ginto pulled up ahead of the final fence when in a good position but it was The Nice Guy who finished strongest.
1st - The Nice Guy (18/1)
2nd - Minella Cocooner (9/2)
3rd - Bardenstown Lad (20/1)
♥️ Our thoughts are with the connections of Ginto
