Galopin Des Champs loses Gold Cup to Inothewayurthinkin

Galopin Des Champs, a two-time Gold Cup winner, lost his chance for a historic third consecutive victory at Cheltenham. Inothewayurthinkin, a late entry, overtook him in the final stretch, finishing first while Galopin Des Champs placed second. Previously favored to win, Galopin Des Champs had a strong start but could not maintain his lead. Inothewayurthinkin, who had lost to him in earlier races, surged ahead to claim victory. Despite the defeat, Galopin Des Champs is set to compete in the Grand National next month. A win there would make him only the second horse to win both the Gold Cup and Grand National in the same year.
