Rachael Blackmore delivers A PLUS TARD with a devastating run to win the 2022 Cheltenham Gold Cup
Рет қаралды 122,451
2 жыл бұрынRacing history again! Rachael Blackmore etched herself further into racing folklore as she added the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup to last year’s Grand National in guiding A Plus Tard to a runaway success in steeplechasing's most prestigious prize.
Not everything had gone right for A Plus Tard in last year’s Gold Cup when finishing runner-up to Henry de Bromhead-trained stablemate Minella Indo and the queen of jump jockeys felt she had unfinished business, having picked the wrong horse.
So it proved, as the 3-1 favourite left last year’s winner in his wake following a ride timed to perfection.
Stuck behind a wall of horses turning in, Blackmore was patient and came between Protektorat and dual winner Al Boum Photo to hunt down defending champion Minella Indo, who had four lengths to spare jumping the penultimate fence.
Yet Blackmore, who became the first woman to ride a Gold Cup winner, adding to her two Champion Hurdles and the National, used A Plus Tard’s pace to perfection and she jumped to the front over the last and powered clear.
The easy early pace, set by Asterion Forlonge and Aye Right, certainly helped the eight-year-old, who was going clear at the finish, recording a 15-length success from Minella Indo, with the Dan Skelton-trained Protektorat nosing out Galvin for third, some two and a half lengths behind the runner-up.

My wife died last week and as people know I am grieving badly but Rachel winning the Gold Cup today has put a smile on my face I'm 76 married for 55 years so I'm grieving Well done Rachel you made me so happy to day and Ireland is so so proud of you well done a girl in a million

Patrick I'm so glad she cheered u up today and took your mind off your grieving for a while. 55 years that's amazing.. my sympathies go to you. Rachel is some rider and I'm sure Ireland is so proud of her. Everyone who loves racing is proud of her

Patrick, I feel for you loss, she is a girl in a million, and such a nice girl. She's such a grounded lady. Stayed amateur until she finished university, then chose to turn professional in a male dominated sport. Then grafted for the next 5 years, winning, I think 7 races in those 5 years. Then she justifies the faith Henry place in her by first winning the Champion Hurdle and finishing as leading jockey at Cheltenham in 2021. But not winning the Gold Cup must really have hurt. So what does she do? She goes and wins The National, the greatest moment of her life. And stays with A Plus Tard, because she feels/knows she's got a better engine under her this year. She rides to a successful defence on Honeysuckle, picks up a second win with Bob Olinger, and takes a couple of falls! Then comes today, she's riding the marginal favourite, both she and the horse are expected not to fail. Such pressure! But she rode so cleverly, so intelligently. A Plus Tard looked like he was finishing a 12 furlong race. Henry trusts her, the horses she rides trust her, I'd trust her 🙂 If she never wins another race, I'll always be thankful to her for winning this race in the manner she did, because it was her that won it, by not striving to contest the lead until the second last fence. Again, sympathies on your loss, and so glad that such a nice lady gave you a reason to smile.

Conflated definitely went for the wrong race, would have given A Plus Tard a run for his money and set a much better pace for the race. The O` Leary`s seem to have an obsession with winning their own sponsored race than the Blue Riband of National Hunt Racing which is a shame.

We'll never know now but the way a plus tard ran nearly last at the third last hampered at least twice once coming up to the third last and to go on and win the race by fifteen lengths it would have taken some horse to beat him. Not saying your wrong but.

This has to be the worst gold cup I’ve seen. When have you ever seen a horse that jumps like that lead the gold cup for so long? No wonder Rachel’s horse bolted in after all he did beat chacun over 2 miles. It was no gallop and just a sprint in the end so there was only one horse gonna win at that point.

You're off your fecking rocker if you think the jockey plays little or no part in how a horse a horse performs, especially in National Hunt racing. To ride these equine athletes at speed requires physical fitness, a knowledge of the mount, tactical awareness, and a whole lot of courage. The owners and trainers have too much invested to risk putting a woman in the saddle just for publicity.

Really don't get all the nonsense about Rachael Blackmore "deserved to win it"! A Plus Tard on the day was the best horse and he got the job done very very easily and that's nothing to do with the jockey on him. Remember a few months ago APT was as short as 2/1 for the gold Cup because the horse is a class act. People need to stop sucking up to a bang average jockey and start to appreciate the horses that do the hard work
