Rachael Blackmore riding Captain Guinness wins the champion chase at Cheltenham with a dramatic victory
Carlow based jockey Racheal Blackmore rides Captain Guinness to victory in the Champion Chase at Cheltenham.
It was all set up for Willie Mullins' 100 Cheltenham race victory with huge odds favourite El Fabiolo pulling up part way through the race.
And Racheal Blackmore and Captain Guinness kept their nose in it to win in nail-biting fashion as a huge odds underdog.
Captain Guinness, trained by Henry De Bromhead in Waterford, who came second in this very race last year goes one better this year and takes the victory.
