After an emphatic and historic Cheltenham Festival due to it being the first festival without spectators watching on, we can look back at it being one of the most eventful Cheltenham Festivals of all time. Because of this, we thought we’d have a look back over the festival which certainly captured the hearts of horse racing fans and a wider audience and do a little summary for the whole festival.

In terms of jockey of the week, we believe this goes without saying as Rachel Blackmore fully stamped her authority on the festival as she claimed 6 wins during the week and looked so impressive throughout the whole week. Not only that, but she actually created a bit of history for herself as she become the first women to win the Champion Hurdle on Honeysuckle, and this set her up for the week.

Minella Indo took home the biggest prize of the week having won the Gold Cup with Jack Kennedy and it meant that trainer Henry De Bromhead won the holy trinity, for the first time in history again, winning the Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase and Gold Cup. In fact, De Bromhead was that impressive in the Gold Cup that he actually got a 1st and 2nd finish and will be thoroughly impressed with the output of his stable for the week.
However, surprisingly it was Willie Mullins that claimed the trainer of the week as Galopin Des Champ’ won the final race to claim the top trainers’ award. Mullins stable always crops up with some of the best horses of the festival but in an interview with Sporting Life, Mullins went on to say, ““Allaho stands out a mile, I think. After racing yesterday, I was thinking he looked like a King George horse, but when I analysed it, I started thinking we should maybe aim for a Champion Chase instead. The way he jumps so slick and so fast, I think we could bring him back in trip – and we could try two miles at Punchestown.”
