Heartbreak for Goshen as Burning Victory grabs Triumph

A dramatic renewal of the JCB Triumph Hurdle saw Goshen crash out at the final flight with the race at his mercy - leaving Burning Victory to record an unlikely success at Cheltenham.

Ridden by Jamie Moore for his father, Gary, Goshen looked set to run out a brilliant winner when he approached the last well clear of the opposition, after surging ahead from two out.

But there was a miscommunication and he appeared to just clip the top of the last, causing him to jink one way and giving Moore no chance of staying on board.

Allmankind, who had given the strong-travelling Goshen a lead and had most of the field under pressure, tried to rally, but Burning Victory, who had been ridden patiently, emerged to have her say.

With Goshen gone in dramatic fashion, Paul Townend took his opportunity and the Willie Mullins-trained Burning Victory (12-1) stormed up the hill to score by two and three-quarter lengths.

Aspire Tower was second, with Allmankind three-quarters of a length away in third place.
