'I was having some craic': Joy for Cork's Coleman as Put The Kettle On gets Ireland off the mark

In doing so, she became the first mare to win the Arkle for 40 years.

The Irish got off the mark in race two of the 2020 Cheltenham Festival as Put The Kettle On burnt off her opposition to win the Racing Post Arkle for Waterford trainer Henry De Bromhead and Cork-born jockey Aidan Coleman.

De Bromhead saddled the favourite in 5-2 shot Notebook but it was his largely unconsidered stablemate, victorious over course and distance last November, who ultimately landed the spoils at odds of 16-1, showing guts aplenty to fend off the Joseph O’Brien-trained Fakir D'Oudairies by a length and a half.
