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.

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.
