    Has any novice chaser ever jumped Cheltenham better?

    Brilliant.

    Electric performance, wonderful spectacle to watch; imagine if it was 3 day festival, like in the good old days, Vautour would have been up against UDS

    I know the Mullins novices have been amazing this year, but will the Festival be very boring next year when his horses win absolutely everything. At the moment at least he isn’t ‘totally’ dominating the older horse division. Should we not impose some sort of handicap system whereby he isn’t allowed to enter horses in some races. I am in grumpyoldwomanmode today. [sorry]In answer to the OP; yes he was incredible.

    Brilliant.

    Bradbury Star & Remittance Man were superb jumpers and there’s plenty more.
    Bear in mind the fences are significantly easier these days at Cheltenham.

    Did you back him?

    Best I have seen. And for the second year running the performance of the meeting for me, unless Coneygree wins by 12 lengths tomorrow ;-)

    What a silly question, Mr Yeats! Of course I did – I back every winner! =D

    But some of those winners jump better than others and none better than Vautour.

    Fair point about the fences, though. :)

    Simply stunning. He might replace Sprinter Sacre as the new superstar.

    I'd like to live in a place where they cordon off swans...

    I very nearly had an accident in my pants. That’s how good Vautour is.

    So don't run, just like the others always do
