'I don't pay attention to the abuse normally but that night my head was completely melted - I just couldn't take any more'

They were tears for his worst fears almost being realised. Everybody wanted to rule the world at Cheltenham that week, nobody more than Gordon Elliott, but he had to wait until the 28th and final race before he finally found a cure for the unbearable pain. 

The remedy was Wodhooh, an unbeaten mare over jumps who stretched her winning sequence to seven in the Martin Pipe. She had prevented a complete blackout. 

Racing TV's Tom Stanley was out on the track; right place, right time to sample the raw emotion of the deadlock being broken in the last minute of injury time. The final whistle had just been blown and Elliott's unfiltered and unedited reaction was one of the most powerful pieces of television all week.
