JP McManus celebrated a win at the Cheltenham Gold Cup with his horse Inothewayurthinkin, which triumphed over Galopin Des Champs. However, the victory was overshadowed by the death of another horse, Corbetts Cross, during the race. Corbetts Cross suffered fatal injuries after jockey Jack Kennedy was unseated. The horse received immediate veterinary attention but could not be saved. The festival expressed condolences to McManus and his connections. Inothewayurthinkin's win marked a successful investment for McManus, who paid £25,000 to enter the horse in the race. The seven-year-old won by six lengths, denying Galopin Des Champs a third consecutive title.
