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.

Gold Cup champion horse Inothewayurthinkin sent a vet flying with a kick moments after taking the prestigious title on Day Four of the Cheltenham Festival. Inothewayurthinkin was a 7/1 shot heading into the race, with the horse owned by J.P. McManus beating odds on favourite Galopin Des Champs.

Poniros, a 100/1 jumps debutant owned by the big-betting chairman of Premier League Brighton & Hove Albion and ridden by a jockey who had planned to be elsewhere, stunned Cheltenham with an opening win on Gold Cup Friday.

Galopin Des Champs will run for history in the Gold Cup later today. The Willie Mullins-trained horse is the odds-on favourite to win the 4pm race. If he succeeds, Galopin Des Champs will become only the fifth horse to win three consecutive Gold Cups. He will be ridden by Paul Townend.

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.
