Best Mate hoping to secure third Gold Cup win

The team behind Best Mate will be hoping for a third consecutive Gold Cup victory in the feature race of the annual Cheltenham Festival later today.

There were three Irish winners at the festival yesterday, with Azertyuiop winning the Queen Mother Champion Chase following Moscow Flyer’s fall at the fourth last jump.

Rule Supreme also won the Royal and SunAlliance Chase, while Total Enjoyment took the Weatherbys Champion Bumper.
