Drama, drama, drama. It’s what Cheltenham is all about.
But there are times when the drama just becomes too cruel to punters for us not to act. Such was the case with Goshen in the Triumph Hurdle on Friday at the Festival.
The Gary Moore-trained horse, ridden by Jamie Moore, unseated his jockey at the last fence with the finishing post in sight, allowing Burning Victory to take a burning victory for Paul Townend and Willie Mullins.

With the wails echoing around Prestbury Park, we knew we had to do something.
Which is exactly what we did:
After that incredible finish in the Triumph Hurdle, we are refunding all single bets (as free bets) on Goshen, including antepost. #JusticeRefund #CheltenhamFestival
