Ardrahan Jockey Rides To Gold Cup Glory
Friday, 19 March 2010 22:42
Pre-race favourites Kauto Star and Denman were overshadowed in today’s totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup by Imperial Commander ridden by Ardrahan jockey Paddy Brennan.
Speaking after riding the 7-1 to victory, Brennan said: It’s by far the best day of my life. I’m speechless. It was a dream the whole way. I have just got to take time to thank my boss (Twiston-Davies, twice a winner of the Aintree Grand National). He’s the best boss ever – he’s produced two horses this week (Imperial Commander and Champion Hurdle runner-up Khyber Kim) and I just had had to steer them.”
Grand National winner Mon Mome finished second today at 50-1.
