Old Park Star rules supreme for Henderson at Cheltenham

On a day we’ve said goodbye to Constitution Hill (over jumps), it’s nice to come straight in and a bring on a new one we hope could be a star.

Kargese foils Kopek and Lulamba in Arkle surprise

Kargese jumped superbly and had far more experience than Kopek which has stood to her at the finish. It’s a nice feeling watching two of your own fight out the finish and you think of Annie Power but surely two of them wouldn’t fall at the last, at least one of them would get over you hope. We all need Cheltenham winners and it’s great for Danny and it’s fabulous to get off the mark for the week. I thought Danny gave her a tremendous ride and he used all the attributes that she has — when he wanted a jump at the last, he got it. We were happy Lulamba was up with Kargese and my worry was that Kopek might get in front with Kargese and the two of them might run the powder out of each other. She’s tough and she gives herself a hard race, even over hurdles as a juvenile and everything since. We couldn’t believe how well she finished off her season as a juvenile. She’s a really tough nut. She looks like a Champion Chase horse, but we’ll have to decide.
