Bet365 Gold Cup

IT’S “just a handicap”, they might say, but there is little doubt that the highlight of the final day of the jumps season is the Bet365 Gold Cup over three miles and five furlongs, and the race has produced some of the most memorable finishes in the history of National Hunt racing. Most notably the iconic 1984 renewal when the Queen Mother’s Special Cargo prevailed in a three-way photograph over Lettoch and Diamond Edge.
