The Ultimate Dream : The Cheltenham Gold Cup

Since its humble inception way back in 1924, the Cheltenham Gold Cup has grown in status and popularity and is now widely regarded as the world's greatest steeplechase. Climbing the famous Cheltenham hill to victory has been compared to reaching the peak of Everest or - in the words of Jonjo O'Neill, who rode 1986 winner Dawn Run - 'trying to get to Heaven'.
