Robbie McNamara claimed his second victory at this year's Cheltenham Festival when making all the running to win this amateurs' chase on Spring Heeled.
 |
McNamara, who won yesterday's Weatherbys Champion Bumper on Silver Concorde, wore the same colours of Dr Ronan Lambe for today's win. It was a good omen for trainer Jim Culloty, who runs Lord Windermere in tomorrow's Betfred Gold Cup.
Culloty said: "That was unbelievable. I've always thought the world of this horse, but he was a bit fractious as a youngster and as a result of that and me giving him time he's ended up a well-handicapped horse. There were 24 runners and I knew things had to fall his way, but if they did he would have a right chance.
"There was no luck needed, because when he jumped the first and gained a lovely soft lead, and had the right jockey on his back, you could call him the winner from there. When I schooled him as a young jockey he was exceptional over a jump, and after I mentioned that to Dr Lambe he called him Spring Heeled.
"This year's aim all along has been the Irish Grand National and Cheltenham was a bit of an after thought. It was in mind if the weather improved and the ground dried up so we came and it's worked. I'm thinking he could be a horse for Aintree next season.
"Our horses are back to form and have been wrong, so I've hardly had a winner for six months, but this is a good omen. Lord Windermere has travelled over brilliantly and everything seems to be coming right so fingers crossed."
The successful rider said: "I was happy to lob away in front and he jumped from fence to fence. I felt he would battle on from a long way out and it was going to take a good one to come and get him.
"I could hear the runner-up when he clouted the last so I knew there was something on my tail, but my horse jumped a lot better than he did last time and the better ground seems to have suited him. I had it in the bag a long way out.
"Jim was very confident - he blamed the ground last time and fancied him big time. Yesterday my first winner at the Festival was a relief - I've been trying for a long time to ride a winner here, and while I have had loads of seconds and thirds I wasn't going to be riding for ever. I'll never forget that win but this is lovely too."

FINAL FENCE BLUNDER COSTS CAUSE
 |
A terrible blunder at the final fence cost runner-up Cause Of Causes victory according to trainer Gordon Elliott, but he was still very pleased with the performance of the six-year-old this afternoon.
The 13/2 shot looked like he was coming to win the race under Nina Carberry as the field approached the final fence but his chance was over after a shocking mistake which left Spring Heeled clear.
The J P McManus-owned gelding battled back well following the blunder but couldn't quite reel in the winner, eventually going down by a length and three quarters.
Elliott was in a reflective mood afterwards and was left wondering what could have been.
"He's run grand race but that mistake has cost us," said the trainer.
"He definitely would have won I reckon. It's a shame but Nina (Carberry) has done a great job in staying on."
Roberto Goldback stayed on strongly to take third place at the death, a further 17 lengths behind the runner-up. Trainer Nicky Henderson was happy enough with his performance and there will be other days for the 12-year-old.
"He stayed on strongly and it was a nice run," said Henderson.
"We didn't enter him in the Crabbie's Grand National because he didn't seem to enjoy it last year (when unseating). It's a shame really as he's run a good National trial there."
