Picture Henderson - trained first and second.

JUVEIGNEUR ANOTHER FOR NICKY

By

Juveigneur (12-1) led home the brave Lord Of The River to give trainer Nicky Henderson a famous one-two in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup at Cheltenham on Wednesday.

And it could have been even better for the Lambourn maestro as his The Bushkeeper was still going strongly when crashing out three from home on his first run since winning this race three years ago.

It was tough luck on the 13-year-old Lord Of The River, who had jumped brilliantly at the head of affairs virtually throughout.

But the younger Juveigneur, in the colours of Trabolgan's owner Hemmings, was going the better coming to the last and he ran on to hold his stablemate by one and a quarter lengths.

Parsons Legacy stayed on well to be third, a further length away, with top-weight Persian Waters in fourth.

Winning rider Richard Burton said: "I was mindful that he might not get the trip.

"I was always getting there a bit too early for my liking and just managed to get a breather into him at the top of the hill.

"It's unbelievable to ride a winner at the Festival - a childhood dream. I've done it and I'm chuffed to bits."
