Cheltenham Gold Cup trophy stolen

The horseracing trophy the Cheltenham Gold Cup has been stolen from an address in Wormington, Gloucestershire Police said today.

This year's Gold Cup was won by Irish horse Imperial Commander.

The horse, which is trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies and ridden by Irish jockey Paddy Brennan, finished ahead of favourites Kauto Star and Denman.

Mr Twiston-Davies, who specialises in National Hunt racing, is based at a stables at Naunton, Gloucestershire.

Before my time as well LE - I also wasn't around the last time Louth won Leinster sadly! 

To my eyes he had plenty left in the tank there - certainly didn't look like the usual tired falls you see at the last. I think he was just meeting it on the wrong stride. Tommy looks like he cops it about four or five strides before the fence and tries to get him back on his hocks by easing up. Jonjo's horse is still finding though.

Hard one to call: 1.24 Tied Cottage in-running at the last on Betfair if it was ran nowadays!

Considering Tied Cottage went on to win the Irish National later that year, I'd say he had plenty left and would have just got up.
