Just what did Russell do wrong on Windermere?

The aftermath of Cheltenham didn’t half throw up a somewhat bizarre story, with Jim Culloty giving Davy Russell the bullet, telling him he would ride no more of his charges, including last year’s Cheltenham Gold Cup hero, Lord Windermere.

Indeed, the said Lord Windermere was at the heart of the problem, with Culloty clearly unhappy with Russell’s handling of the horse in this year’s Gold Cup.

In some ways the disagreement was almost funny, seriously puzzling and it was certainly difficult to understand just what Russell is supposed to have done wrong.
