All eyes are on Galopin Des Champs, who is aiming for a third successive Gold Cup at the climax of the Cheltenham Festival. General admission for the Gold Cup has sold out, with nearly 70,000 spectators gathered at Prestbury Park.

Galopin Des Champs has been denied a third straight win in horse racing’s Cheltenham Gold Cup after he was beaten by Inothewayurthinkin in the prestigious jumps race in England.

Inothewayurthinkin, who was sent off at 15-2, caused a shock by lowering the colours of 8-13 favourite Galopin Des Champs in the festival's most prestigious race. A late contender for the Gold Cup, he vindicated the decision of his connections to supplement him at a cost of £25,000.

Inothewayurthinkin won the Cheltenham Gold Cup as Galopin Des Champs was denied a historic hat-trick. The 15-2 winner, ridden by Mark Walsh for trainer Gavin Cromwell and owner JP McManus, charged clear up the hill to beat the gallant two-time victor by six lengths, with Gentlemansgame in third.

Inothewayurthinkin, a 15/2 shot trained by Gavin Cromwell and ridden by Mark Walsh, won the Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday and denied odds-on favourite Galopin Des Champs a third successive victory.

The Gold Cup and Galopin Des Champs take centre stage on the fourth and final day of action at Cheltenham Festival 2025. There was more drama and excitement on Thursday at Prestbury Park with another stacked day of action for punters to look forward to on the final day of the Festival.
