Gaelic Warrior claims the Gold Cup at the Cheltenham Festival
Rider Paul Townend takes his fifth win at the festival.
Gaelic Warrior became the big winner of this years Cheltenham Festival, claiming the Gold Cup title this afternoon !
The 11-4 joint-favourite came in well ahead of Jango Baie.
The horse is ridden by Paul Townend - who's now the most successful jockey in the race's history, having won it five times.
Trainer Willie Mullins tells us what it was like watching from the stands: "I just stood there, perplexed. You know, I jumped the third lap, jumped the second lap. Jumped the last and then that is a long run in... I didn't cheer until 50 yards to go and then I said, you know, 'we've done it'."
However, the race had a sad ending though - the horse Envoi Allen died after collapsing on the walk back to the stables.
