Cheltenham Festival Day 4: Gold Cup Day
Transcript
00:00 Finally then, moving on to day four of course, the Cheltenham Gold Cup being the main race
00:06 of the festival. Now, last year's winner, Gallup-Indischamps is, as far as I found out,
00:13 current favourite, but it's main market rival is Fasto Show. But I think perhaps one of
00:21 the turnips for the books would actually be Chiskin, which is winning in its first Gold
00:25 Cup, having won several other Cheltenham races before, so that could certainly be a big
00:29 challenger. So whilst you've got Gallup-Indischamps, is it perhaps one of those two that could
00:36 challenge it? It's an interesting one, the Gold Cup, it's as if we've got any money left
00:40 at this stage, obviously Daniel, hopefully it's bursting out the wallets, but it's never
00:44 that easy Cheltenham. But yeah, we'll see how that goes. But I remember watching Gallup-Indischamps
00:49 win it last year, when I was just about to go away, it was one of the last things I saw
00:52 before I got on the plane, and I remember sort of thinking, you know, it's still a fairly
00:56 young horse and it could sort of dominate for a few years and stuff. And I suspect it'll
00:59 probably do the business again. And it's not bomb-proof, it has been beaten before and
01:04 stuff and there are live alternatives in there. Obviously you mentioned Chiskin, you mentioned
01:07 the Fasto Slow as well. There's some good horses in there, it's the Gold Cup, it's going
01:10 to be a good race, obviously. But I suspect Gallup-Indischamps will probably get the job
01:14 done. And you can trust Willie Mullins will have it absolutely, you know, cherry ripe,
01:18 perfect for that race. But what I would say is there's a horse in there called Brave Man's
01:22 Game, trained by Paul Nicholls, which is 16s. And he's spoken about this already in the
01:25 build-up to it, saying he thinks he'll get it spot on for the race. And I was quite surprised
01:30 when I looked, I read some comments from Nicholls on that, when I looked at the price of 16s
01:33 to 1, I thought it'd be about half that, to be honest. So I'd put that up each way in
01:37 the Gold Cup, but I think Gallup-Indischamps will probably be the winner. There's another
01:41 Mullins one called Dino Blue, which I suspect will take an awful lot of beating, beaten
01:45 by Alfaviolo last time, and we've mentioned Alfaviolo, so that's about even. So that should
01:49 be the banker of the day, really. And there's another Mullins thing, I mean, how many is
01:52 that now? We've gone through 10, 11, reading saw me wrong on the Albert Bartlett, that
01:56 could be anything. I suspect that will go very, very well as well. It's about five to
01:59 one favourites. So yeah, the Gold Cup's the big one. It always gives you a big buzz if
02:02 you get the winner of the Gold Cup, no matter what sort of week you've had, because it's
02:05 the big race of the week, like you say. And I think realistically Gallup-Indischamps could
02:10 be the one. So we've gone through a fair few there over the whole week. We shall see how
02:14 we go and keep fingers crossed. It's fascinating every year, Cheltenham, you go through it
02:17 and you look at the short ones, especially, and you think that'll win, that'll win, that'll
02:20 win, that'll win. And they never all do. I remember one year there was the big four-timer,
02:24 I think it was, that would have happened, but Franny Power falling at the last, which
02:28 kept all the money in the bucket satchels. Let's hope that's not the case this year and
02:32 the punters are on top. But yeah, we'll go for Gallup-Indischamps to win the week in
