Sean Bowen delivered a commanding performance aboard Glengouly to claim the Support The Hunt Family Fund December Gold Cup at Cheltenham, marking the most remarkable win in trainer Faye Bramley’s career.
The champion jockey set a measured pace from the front, expertly controlling the race and allowing Glengouly to conserve energy while the rest of the field struggled to keep up. As they turned into the straight, key contenders such as Vincenzo, Hoe Joly Smoke, and Jagwar moved into contention, prepared to challenge if they could muster the necessary stamina.
However, Bowen’s confidence in Glengouly was well placed. The former Willie Mullins-trained gelding powered relentlessly up the hill, securing a stunning victory at 33-1 odds. Vincenzo finished strongly to take second place by a length and a half, with Jagwar narrowly claiming third.
