Inothewayurthinkin Claims Cheltenham Gold Cup, Ending Galopin Des Champs' Hat-Trick Bid

The Gavin Cromwell-trained horse outpaced the odds-on favorite to secure a six-length victory in one of jump racing's most prestigious events.

Inothewayurthinkin, a late entry at 15-2 odds, defeated two-time defending champion Galopin Des Champs in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Galopin Des Champs, trained by Willie Mullins, was attempting to become the fifth horse in history to win three consecutive Gold Cups but finished second.
The victory marked jockey Mark Walsh's first Gold Cup win and added to owner JP McManus' storied racing legacy.
Trainer Gavin Cromwell hinted at the possibility of Inothewayurthinkin competing in April's Grand National, though no decision has been finalized.
The race was overshadowed by the death of Corbetts Cross, who suffered a fatal fall, casting a somber tone over the day's events.
