Cheltenham Festival: Champion Hurtle beat Golden Ace after Hill and a state man in the race full of incidents were installed | Racing news
Golden Ace was the shock of the winner of the incredible Unibetic champion, in which the Hill and State Man Constitution also collapsed – the latter clean as he jumped the last in front.
The Hill Constitution performed relatively early at Cheltenham Showpien and was Werrighterdaysahead, who seemed to fight a state man along the hill, but the champion of Bran Willie Mullins collapsed on the final flight, just as it seemed likely to run out of a pronounced winner.
Lighterdaysahead interfered afterwards, though she looked beaten at the time.
She was then left to Golden Asu trained Jeremy Scott, who did not break down when she was given the opportunity and she took Lorcan Williams to win in the amount of 25/1, and Burdett Road (66/1) occupied a place to run.
Lossiemouth unprocessed in defense of the mare title

The rich Ricci Gray was second in most of the race, sitting on the shoulder of her stable stable stable jada de Gruggy tree before heading in front of the last fence.
Jade de Gruagy tried to stimulate the pace, but Lossiemouth cruised the leader before flying over the last one and struck to seal a seven and a half -length triumph and won the festival for the third time. They are not risked in third place for Skelton Day.
Russell continues to dominate Ultima with myretown
Myretown produced a great front performance in Cheltenham to earn coach Lucinda Russell his third victory in Ultima handicap Chase from the last four runs.
The eight -year -old, who wore the same silk and the same cheese in the former arched hero Dylan Thomas as well as Russell’s stable Stalwart Ahoy Senor, looked comfortable in the hands of Patrick Wadge in early lead.
It was the advantage that Myretown did not give up, and a fantastic jump in the last fence saw him bursting from Joe Tizzard The Changing Man before declaring cleanliness to return home for 11 lengths as 13/2 favorites. Raspberry Girl was third for Gavin Cromwell.
Russell said, “I was not willing to guide him, but the owners said,” Come on, let’s go and go “and he was well handicapped if he jumped, I just didn’t know if he would be a man enough, but he seems to be.
“I remembered that I owned half, so it just got even better. He was phenomenal and I always thought he could be another Ahoy Senor – we bought it because it looks like Ahoy Senor.
“It’s a little different from Coracha Rambler who jumps so lush, and Corach was a star, but just a different kind of horse.
“This is a great horse and I am delighted with Patrick, it was not a bad ride for his first festival winner! It was really brave.”
Wadge added, “I couldn’t believe that jumping three, I couldn’t hear anyone nearby and I just hoped I didn’t go too fast. I gave him a grip on the bend and he took off – I think he could have bypassed again. I can’t thank Lucinda, SCU (Peter Scudamore) and the owners for being amazed to me.
“I don’t know how good he could, but he’s the best I ever sat down and he could be the best I will ever sit on.”
