We are also looking to provide an opportunity for people from diverse communities to build a personal affinity with the Gold Cup by taking the trophy on a nationwide tour. On the big day, there will be a number of befitting Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup-themed activities that together, with the running of the race, will form the fabric of what will be a momentous occasion. The highlight will be a parade of legends featuring horses that have competed for the Gold Cup. It was overwhelming for me to realise how deep the affection for my husband still sits in the hearts of so many people a full year after his passing. A chance for racing fans and those passionate about the Gold Cup to join up and hear news about the tour and receive special offers.

A pair of debris cautions highlighted the final stage, the first of which came after just one lap of racing. Allmendinger took the lead from Chastain on said lap. A debris caution came out with nine laps remaining, but Allmendinger kept his ground and was unbeatable as he secured his first win of 2022 and eleventh in the Xfinity Series. Crawford / Hardie were coming under increased pressure from Payne / Wilkes, and better drive from Barn Corner saw Payne / Wilkes take the lead on the run to Coppice. However, Crawford / Hardie regained the lead at Chris Curve, before a decisive move at The Chicane saw the lead change again, with Payne / Wilkes pulling out a couple of bike lengths. The leading outfits had opened a margin of around fourteen seconds to third placed Founds / Lowther, who were now having a lonely ride approximately twenty seconds ahead of Gibson / Moore, who had made some excellent progress, having passed Bryan / Hyde and Harrison / Binns.The longest-priced winner of the Gold Cup has been Norton’s Coin, who started at 100-1 in 1990, while the shortest-priced winner was Arkle, the 1-10 favourite in 1966.

I told myself yesterday I was not happy with where I put ourselves,” Allmendinger commented. “All these men and women here at Kaulig Racing, between the Cup side of it and the Xfinity side of it, they don’t sleep during the week. They’re busting their tails and that’s why I’m so freaking hard on myself sometimes because they deserve to win more than anybody here. I just want to do it for them. Thankfully, we got it done today.” West Ham United: Miklosko (Kelly 46), Gordon (Butler 46), Potts, Martin, Bishop (M.Allen 50), Holmes, Brown (Gale 46), C.Allen, Morley (Boere 46), Rowland, Williamson
