Cheltenham Festival 2025: Final results and every winner after Inothewayurthinkin wins Gold Cup

Galopin Des Champs went for a third straight victory in the race, looking to become only the fifth horse to win the Gold Cup on three occasions, but it was Inothewayurthinkin who stole the headlines for trainer Gavin Cromwell. That summed up what has been a week of shocks, with plenty of big names failing to deliver on their short odds.

Earlier in the week, Bob Olinger denied favourite Teahupoo in the Stayers’ Hurdle, giving Rachael Blackmore a second victory of the day, while Fact To File was in a class of his own in the Ryanair Chase.

On the second day of the Festival, Marine Nationale and Jazzy Matty, both previously ridden to victories at Cheltenham by the late Michael O’Sullivan, won the Queen Mother Champion Chase and Grand Annual respectively in the space of 40 minutes.

One of the biggest headlines heading into the festival was the return of Constitution Hill, but he fell in a dramatic Champion Hurdle on Tuesday. State Man went down at the last when victory looked certain, as Golden Ace took advantage as a surprise 25-1 winner.
