Long Run comes good for top Lambourn trainer
TOP Lambourn trainer Nicky Henderson was celebrating today after Long Run won the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
The victory means that Sam Waley-Cohen, son of owner Robert, is the first amateur jockey in 30 years to win the race.
The six-year-old ended a bad week on a high for Mr henderson after the debacle over Binocular, withdrawn from the festival after medication failed to clear his sytem on time.
Mr Henderson told reporters: "Long Run is a very good young horse. And I'll add this: Long Run made a pretty bad jumping mistake on the final circuit and managed to shrug it off well enough to win, so maybe prices of 6-1 about him winning this again next year are worth considering."
