Cue Card takes King George thriller
But today he said to me I’d won.

John Hales, who owns Al Ferof, third in the race for the third successive year, said: “I was very pleased with him”.
It’s the best feeling of my whole career’. Two out he was still in control but, the alarm bells were ringing going to the last fence and the last 50 yards proved a few precious strides too far.
Adrian Maguire gave Willie Mullins his sole success in the race to date with Florida Pearl in 2001 and the retired jockey, who now trains at Mallow in County Cork, would choose his number one hope Vautour given the chance.
The big disappointment was dual victor Silviniaco Conti, who capitulated very quickly when headed and was pulled up by Noel Fehily.
The stewards adjudged the Galway rider to have used his whip above the permitted level and he will now miss January 9-19 inclusive.
Having also won the Betfair Chase at Haydock last month, Cue Card will head to the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March chasing the £1million put up by the Jockey Club for a victor of all three races.
Anyone without a Paddy Power account can get enhanced odds of 12/1 on Don Cossack to win King George VI Chase by signing up through this link before 15:10 GMT on Saturday afternoon. My wife and son watching at home will be so proud. He was all out on the line, but it’s so lovely that he relaxes in a race.
“I’m not going to lie and say there was loads there, I got to the bottom of the tank but if any man is going to get him back in that sort of form for the Gold Cup it’s Colin Tizzard”.
“The best day of my life, unbelievable”. It had looked like Vautour ran out of stamina, although he told Mullins he should have pressed on even harder. The Gordon Elliot trained horse fell just as it seemed as though he might mount a challenge and Cue Card went on to pip Vautour at the post. “He’ll probably turn it into a test of stamina”.
“We won’t make a decision about the Gold Cup for a while, we’ll see what we have to run in it when it comes – I won’t be taking him out of it, anyhow”. “He is probably a specialist two-and-a-half-miler and so the Ryanair will probably be next”.
