The Randox Health County Hurdle is a fiercely competitive handicap hurdle run over 2m1f as the second race on day four of the Cheltenham Festival. Until a change in the running order in 2009 it was staged as the final race of the festival and was known as the getting-out stakes, as it offered punters a final change to find a winner. It has witnessed some major public gambles over the years.

This was a triumph for Ireland in general and Willie Mullins in particular as the perennial champion trainer had five runners and grabbed three of the first four places. The betting showed the way as lightly-raced Saint Roi, sent off 11-2 favourite on just his fourth appearance over hurdles, came home a clear winner from stablemates Aramon (8-1) and Buildmeupbuttercup (16-1), with Joseph O’Brien’s Embittered (14-1) splitting the placed pair in third.
