Galopin Des Champs has been denied a third straight win in horse racing's Cheltenham Gold Cup after he was beaten by Inothewayurthinkin in the prestigious jumps race in England.

Inothewayurthinkin won the Cheltenham Gold Cup as Galopin Des Champs was denied a historic hat-trick. The 15-2 winner, ridden by Mark Walsh for trainer Gavin Cromwell and owner JP McManus, charged clear up the hill to beat the gallant two-time victor by six lengths, with Gentlemansgame in third.

Inothewayurthinkin, who was sent off at 15-2, caused a shock by lowering the colours of 8-13 favourite Galopin Des Champs in the festival's most prestigious race. A late contender for the Gold Cup, he vindicated the decision of his connections to supplement him at a cost of £25,000.
