Cheltenham Festival 2019: The top five moments from the Festival

Fabulous Frodon does it for Bryony

Frodon and Bryony Frost go together like Ant & Dec or Morecambe & Wise. You can’t have one without the other. And so they proved once again in the 2019 Ryanair Chase.

The pair have forged an incredible partnership and cemented it even further with their biggest win yet over the 2m 4f.

They took a stranglehold early on and never let go as Frost became the first woman jockey to win a Grade 1 race at the Cheltenham Festival. She’s now 33/1 for BBC Sports Personality of the Year, with Frodon 33/1 for the 2020 Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Emotional win for Paisley Park

There are stories everywhere you turn when it comes to Stayers’ Hurdle winner Paisley Park.

From Andrew Gemmell, who has been blind since birth to the horse itself, who nearly died two years ago, it’s fair to say this was an emotional victory for all involved.

What a way to do it, too. Emma Lavelle’s charge looked beaten going up the hill but showed a devilish turn of pace to skip away from Sam Spinner and Faugheen.

Not even a blunder at the last could stop him as the 11/8f won by just over 2l.

Tiger Roll lays down National credentials

For many people, Tiger Roll was the banker of the week. The 2018 Grand National winner did not disappoint. He jumped superbly to win the Cross Country by a country mile – or 22l to be precise.

He’ll now go off as favourite for the 2019 Grand National, where he could be the shortest price fav since Shutthefrontdoor in 2015.
