“SHE’S cruising along… oh and she’s down… SHE’S DOWN! And the bookies have been saved.”

The most talked about horse on the first day of the 2015 Cheltenham Festival was not the Champion Hurdle winner Faugheen. We saw Douvan, Un De Sceaux and Faugheen win Grade 1s on that opening day of the 2015 Festival – but the photo of Annie Power crashing out at the last was the one that made more front pages. The quote above was Simon Holt’s commentary. It was the story of the day. It wasn’t the nicest of falls either, she was lucky to be uninjured.
