Cheltenham: All that was green and gold glitters for JP McManus on day two

All that glitters is not gold, a talented writer called William Shakespeare (you may have heard of him) once wrote. He was right.

But today, on day two of the Cheltenham Festival, almost all that was green and gold did indeed glitter as leading owner JP McManus, fresh from Epatante’s Champion Hurdle victory on his 69th birthday, saw his famous colours carried to victory in four of the seven races up for grabs, though, ironically, not the feature contest, the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase.
