Gavin Cromwell reacts
A fantastic week for Gavin Cromwell, capped off with this remarkable Gold Cup win.
But he admitted he’s not sure if Inothewayurthinkin will head for the Grand National next month.
He told ITV: “I’m speechless, it’s unbelievable. We’ve had great faith in this horse.
“We felt he’d come forward plenty since losing to Galopin Des Champs last time out despite making a mistake.
“I’m just thankful JP allowed us to supplement him.
“I don’t know about the Grand National but we’ll get him home and have a chat. There’s a potential it will happen.”
Some decision
He’s the favourite for the Grand National next month.
And he was a late, supplemented entry for the Gold Cup.
JP McManus coughed up £25,000 to put his horse into the big one.
Money well spent – what a decision!
