Cheltenham Festival Podcast: Best Mate special


Cornelius Lysaght talks to Henrietta Knight about her triple Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Best Mate.

She takes us through his early days when first spotted in a point-to-point in Ireland right through to the fateful final day of his life at Exeter.

There's the highs of the three Golden days at Prestbury Park, the two Festival races that got away, and wonderful stories involving Terry Biddlecombe and the rest of the team behind the horse.

Henrietta has an interest in this year's race too with Champ, who she's helped with the schooling of, and it all makes for a tremendous listen.
