LONDON: Minella Indo, ridden by Jack Kennedy and trained by Henry De Bromhead, won the Cheltenham Gold Cup on a Friday afternoon of high emotion despite the absence of fans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was all celebration for De Bromhead, though, as the Irishman became the first trainer to complete the 'holy trinity' of winning the Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase and Gold Cup in the same week. Blackmore, the first female jockey to win the Champion Hurdle after victory with Honseysuckle on Tuesday, came into the big race of the week with six wins already and A Plus Tard heavily fancied at 10-3.It was Bryony Frost on 17-1 shot Frodon who made the early running and looked the more likely woman to win before being overhauled with two fences to go as Minella Indo, at 9-1, hit the front.
