Galopin Des Champs loses Cheltenham Gold Cup to upset
Galopin Des Champs, the favorite, lost the Cheltenham Gold Cup to Inothewayurthinkin. This marks a significant upset, as Galopin aimed to win a third consecutive Gold Cup, a feat not achieved since the early 2000s. Galopin Des Champs started as the 1/2 favorite but struggled during the race, particularly after a fall involving another horse. Inothewayurthinkin, at 15/2 odds, emerged as the winner, with Banbridge finishing close behind. This outcome changes the narrative for Galopin Des Champs, who had previously dominated the event. The race offered a prize of £363,999 for the winner.
