Inothewayurthinkin wins Cheltenham Gold Cup to deny Galopin Des Champs a third straight victory

By Canadian Press on March 14, 2025.

CHELTENHAM, England (AP) — Galopin Des Champs was denied a third straight win in horse racing’s Cheltenham Gold Cup when he was beaten by Inothewayurthinkin in the prestigious jumps race on Friday.

Only four horses, including greats Arkle and Best Mate, have won three Gold Cups in a row in the race’s 101-year history.

Galopin Des Champs was put in a great position to become the fifth but was overtaken at the last fence by Inothewayurthinkin, which pulled away to win by around 3-4 lengths.

Galopin Des Champs’ trainer, Willie Mullins, was looking to claim a remarkable fifth straight race victory on the final day of the festival. His first was a 100-1 shot, Poniros.
