Cheltenham Gold Cup

|
The Cheltenham Gold Cup is the foremost steeplechase race in the United Kingdom, run at Cheltenham Racecourse, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. The race is part of the Cheltenham Festival.
The most successful horse in Gold Cup history was Golden Miller, who won five times from 1932. Three other horses have won the race three times consecutively, Cottage Rake in 1948-1950, Arkle in 1964-1966 and Best Mate in 2002-2004.
The longest priced winner in Gold Cup history was the 100-1 outsider Norton's Coin in 1990, entered into the race only because the owner had missed the deadline for an earlier, lesser race at the meeting.
