Poniros wins Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham Festival 2025
bbc.com —
Poniros achieved a surprising 100-1 victory in the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, marking the longest-priced winner in the race's history. Trainer Willie Mullins celebrated his first four race wins of the day. Poniros, running over hurdles for the first time, edged out Lulamba by a neck. The horse is owned by Tony Bloom, and Mullins noted he did not expect Poniros to perform so well. Mullins continued his success with wins in the County Hurdle and Mares' Chase, with jockeys Paul Townend and Mark Walsh riding favorites to victory. He aims for a third Cheltenham Gold Cup win later today.
