Cheltenham Festival 2021 Results: Day 4
Full result
In one of the most exciting final days of the festival in years, the Irish domination of Cheltenham 2021 was confirmed. Blackmore wrapped up the Top jockey award, but it was the race between Willie Mullins and Henry de Bromhead for top trainer that ended in a dramatic fashion in the favour of Mullins as Galopin Des Champs won the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle, the final race of the meeting.

Not only did she win the Ryanair Chase with ease atop Allaho, but she showed an even greater mastery of horse-racing by her outstanding display upon Telmesomethinggirl in the Mares' Novices Hurdle.

In the middle of a global pandemic, the 2021 Cheltenham Festival took place behind closed doors without spectators. The lack of on-course atmosphere did not detract from the occasion as millions watched from the comfort of their own homes and the stars of the show put on an exhibition of top-class horse racing.

Cheltenham Festival's Biggest Winners

Willie Mullins: Cheltenham’s Trainer Extraordinaire

When Willie Mullins saddled his first Cheltenham winner in 1995, nobody expected that he would go on to dominate the festival for the next three decades! With a phenomenal 78 different winners across 27 years of the Cheltenham Festival, there’s barely a race that Mullins hasn’t yet won. Holding the joint record for training the most winners at Cheltenham Festival with 8, Mullins has been rewarded for his consistent success with his name being engraved in the Cheltenham Hall of Fame. Alongside his remarkable Cheltenham results, he has also won the Irish Gold Cup 11 times, trained winners who ran in the Grand National & at Royal Ascot, and has placed first in races as far flung as Japan, Saudi Arabia, & Australia. In 2017/18 he produced an utterly remarkable 212 winners from 797 runners.

Ruby Walsh: Rider on the Storm

There is absolutely no doubt that Ruby Walsh is one of the finest riders to ever grace British & Irish racing, let alone at the Cheltenham Festival. With a record 59 wins under his belt, no rider has got close to reaching his tally of Cheltenham Festival winners, a tally that was accumulated between the years of 1998 and 2019. Over those years he won the leading jockey award in 11 different years, proving time and again his remarkable skills in the saddle. He has the record for most winners ran across one festival with 7, and most winners ran across a single day of the festival with 4. Ruby and Mullins had a very close working relationship, with Ruby making a significant number of his wins on top of Mullins-trained horses. With Ruby retiring from competitive horse racing in 2019 the question remains to be seen as to whether another jockey will step up to fill his void.

The Prestbury Cup Previous Results

At the end of each festival every year the number of British winners and Irish winners is tallied and the “Prestbury Cup” is gifted to the nation with the most wins. While largely symbolic, the Prestbury Cup is a great way for Britain or Ireland to earn bragging rights over their neighbour for the next year. Over the last 8 years, Ireland has totally dominated the cup, with Great Britain only drawing with them in the 2019 festival. However, as we all know, nothing is ever a surefire bet in the world of horse racing, so who knows whether they’ll manage to repeat their domination at this year’s meet.

Year Winner Ireland Great Britain
2023 (28 races) Ireland 18 winners 10 winners
2022 (28 races) Ireland 18 winners 10 winners
2021 (28 races) Ireland 23 winners 5 winners
2020 (28 races) Ireland 17 winners 10 winners
2019 (28 races) Tie 14 winners 14 winners
2018 (28 races) Ireland 17 winners 11 winners
2017 (28 races) Ireland 19 winners 9 winners
2016 (28 races) Ireland 15 winners 13 winners
2015 (27 races) Great Britain 13 winners 14 winners
2014 (27 races) Great Britain 12 winners 15 winners
Total (278 races) 166 winners 111 winners

 

Famous Cheltenham results: The Festival’s top 5 winners

5. Istabraq (Champion Hurdle) - 1998

Being the foal of the extremely well-known Sadler’s Wells, Istabraq was reared solely to run flats. However, despite this, it was the jumps that he became famous for, being ridden by Charlie Swan for 29 of them! His first big Cheltenham success was the Champion Hurdle in ‘98, which he won by a whole 12 lengths. Over the course of the next few years, Istabraq won the Champion Hurdle three times in a row, and his grand total of four wins puts him up amongst some of the most successful horses at Cheltenham to this day.

4. Big Buck’s (World Hurdle) - 2009

Big Buck’s never really managed to get a hold in the racing of his home country of France, ruinning 13 times but only winning twice. However, this changed when he moved to England. At only his second Cheltenham festival, Big Buck’s won the World Hurdle before going on to win it another 3 consecutive years! During this dominant time period, he went and won races around the country, but it was the Cheltenham World Hurdle performances which was the spark for the fire.

3. Quevega (Mares’ Hurdle) - 2009

Quevega can easily be said to be one of Willie Mullins’ most successful horses and, considering the sheer number of amazing horses that have been trained by him, that’s no mean feat. The Mares’ Hurdle had only just been established in 2009 when Quevega won it for the first time. What nobody expected to happen would be her winning that race for six consecutive years - a record of successive wins at Cheltenham which stands to this day! 

2. Golden Miller (Gold Cup) - 1932

Possibly one of the greatest horses to ever grace British racing, Golden Miller was truly an exceptional runner. Between 1932 and 36, Golden Miller won the Gold Cup an unprecedented five times consecutively, setting a record that has truly stood the test of time. On top of that, he is the only horse in British racing history to have won both the Gold Cup and Grand National in the same year. Of course, if you’ve been to the festival then you wouldn’t be surprised to see his name on this list, considering there’s a rather large statue of him at the Parade Ring to honour his phenomenal achievements.

1. Arkle (Gold Cup) - 1964

Although Golden Miller might be considered the better runner overall by some, Arkle has a much closer connection with the Cheltenham Festival than any other horse that has run there. Winning the Gold Cup three times in total, Arkle was a truly exceptional horse who outclassed almost every other competitor. Not only did the Irish racing authorities have to create a separate weight system for races in which Arkle was running but he holds the record for the highest Timeform rating ever awarded to a steeplechaser at 212, a whole 20 points ahead of the horse in 3rd place. Arkle’s name is used at the Cheltenham festival, particularly as the name of the first race of the festival, as a means of commemorating this extraordinary horse.
