Caspian Caviar Gold Cup Facts & Figures

Background information

The Caspiar Caviar Gold Cup takes place over nearly two miles and five furlongs (2m 4f 166y) on the New Course

at Cheltenham. In 2003, because of the lack of rain over the summer and during the autumn, the handicap chase

was run over two miles and four and a half furlongs of the Old Course at Cheltenham. There have been 46 runnings,

the first in 1963, with seven abandonments. Frost intervened in 2001, 1995 and 1976, snow in 1990 and 1981,

while the 1967 event did not go ahead due because of a foot and mouth epidemic. The 2008 race was lost due to a

waterlogged course.

Multiple winners

Poquelin created history in 2010 when becoming the first dual winner of the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup.

Irish-trained winners

There have been six Irish-trained winners of the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup. The victories of Limeking (1963), Flying

Wild (1964) and Flyingbolt (1965) ensured that the first three runnings all went to Ireland. However, no horse hailing

from the Emerald Isle was successful between Leap Frog (1971) and Go Roger Go, victorious in 2000. Sir Oj became

the most recent Irish-trained winner when successful in 2005.

Highest weight

The highest weight ever carried to victory in the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup was the 12st 7lb shouldered by Pendil in

1973. Other notable weight-carrying performances came from Flyingbolt with 12st 6lb in 1965 and Leap Frog with

12st 1lb in 1971. Pendil is the only horse to have also won the other major race at The International, the Grade Two

hurdle now run as the StanJames.com International, which he did in 1970.

Betting

Pendil also has the distinction of being the shortest-priced victor at 8/11. Only 10 favourites or joint-favourites have

won the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup - Flyingbolt (1965, 5/2), Titus Oates (1969, 9/4), Leap Frog (1971, 3/1), Arctic

Bow (1972, 9/2), Pendil (1973, 8/11), Fifty Dollars More (1983, 3/1), Oregon Trail (1986, 3/1), Kings Fountain

(1991, 7/4), Addington Boy (1996, 7/4) and Poquelin (2009, 7/2).

However, a fancied horse - if not the favourite - usually captures the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup, with 35 victors having

been returned at single-figure odds. Tamarinbleu became the longest-priced winner in the contest’s history when

scoring at 22/1 in 2007.

Age

Unioniste is the youngest winner, having scored as a four-year-old in 2012 - the previous youngest was The Laird,

aged five, in 1966. Tassilo (1968) and Garnishee (1974) were both 10 when successful and are the two oldest

winners. The age breakdown is 4yo (1), 5yo (1), 6yo (11), 7yo (11), 8yo (15), 9yo (5) & 10yo (2).

Trainers

Female trainers have saddled the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup winner four times - Auriol Sinclair with Simian (1970),

Jenny Pitman with Bueche Giorod (1980), Susan Nock with Senor El Betrutti (1997) and Venetia Williams with

Niceonefrankie (2014).

Gordon Richards, Fred Winter, Nicky Henderson and Paul Nicholls have been the most successful trainers in the

history of the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup with three winners each.

Jockeys

Five jockeys have ridden more than one winner. Richard Johnson, the only current rider among them, is the most

successful with three victories on Village Vic (2015), Monkerhostin (2004) and Legal Right (1999).

Did you know?

Arkle, the greatest chaser of all time and triumphant in the Cheltenham Gold Cup three times, suffered a rare

reversal in the 1964 renewal. Anne Duchess of Westminster’s charge shouldered top-weight of 12st 10lb (which

included a 3lb penalty for winning the Hennessy just seven days beforehand) and stayed on in third behind the high-

class Irish mare Flying Wild (received 32lb) and Buona Notte (received 26lb).

Pegwell Bay (1988), Senor El Betrutti (1997) and Exotic Dancer (2006) are the only three horses to have landed

both the BetVictor Gold Cup and the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup in the same season. Five other horses have won both

races but in different years. Fondmort took the 2003 BetVictor Gold Cup and the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup the

previous season, while Dublin Flyer (BV 1995, CCGC 1994), Another Coral (BV 1991, CCGC 1992), Beau Ranger (BV

1987, CCGC 1984) and Fifty Dollars More (BV 1982, CCGC 1983) also won both races.

StanJames.com International Hurdle

Facts & Figures

Background information

The StanJames.com International Hurdle was first run in 1963 and there have been 48 runnings, with the race

abandoned five times. Two runnings took place at other courses after Cheltenham could not race in 2001 (Newbury)

and 2008 (Ascot).

Up until 1977, the prestigious contest was called the Cheltenham Trial Hurdle. It was renamed in 1977 to reflect

Bula’s successes at Cheltenham, including the Champion Hurdle in both 1971 and 1972. He also won a division of

the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle in 1970 and finished third in the 1975 Cheltenham Gold Cup. Bula won the race

subsequently named in his honour in 1972, the same year as his second Champion Hurdle victory

Boylesports backed the renamed International between 2006 & 2009, while another bookmaker, Stan James, took

over the sponsorship in 2010 as part of its “Road To Cheltenham”.

Betting

The shortest-priced winners have been Comedy Of Errors (1973) and The New One (2013), who both returned at

2/5. In the 48 runnings, 23 favourites (47.9%) have been successful. Solway Sands (1968) provided the biggest

shock when winning at 33/1.

Multiple winners

Bird’s Nest (1977, 1978 & 1980) and Relkeel (1997, 1998 & 1999) were both triumphant three times in the

StanJames.com International Hurdle. The race has seen three dual winners - Comedy Of Errors (1973 & 1974),

Large Action (1994 & 1996) and The New One (2013 & 2014).

Trainers

Bob Turnell, Oliver Sherwood, Philip Hobbs, Nicky Henderson, Nigel Twiston-Davies and Paul Nicholls have each

trained three winners of the race.

Irish-trained winners

There have been three Irish-trained winners - Harchibald (2005 - trained by Noel Meade), Back In Front (2004 -

Edward O’Grady) and Condor Pan (1988 - Jim Bolger).

Jockeys

Richard Johnson is the winning-most jockey, recording five victories with Relkeel (1997 & 1999), Rooster Booster

(2002), Detroit City (2006) and Menorah (2010). Sam Twiston-Davies is going for his fourth consecutive success

this year in the StanJames.com International Hurdle.

Field size

The largest field was in 1977 when 10 runners went to post, while four horses lined up in 1966, 1974, 2001 and

2006.

Age

Seven four-year-olds have won, 13 five-year-olds, 12 six-year-olds, seven seven-year-olds, five eight-year-olds,

two nine-year-olds and two 10-year-olds - hat-trick achiever Relkeel in 1999 and Bird’s Nest, also a three-time

winner, in 1980.

StanJames.com International & Stan James Champion Hurdle winners

Seven horses in total have won both the StanJames.com International Hurdle and the Stan James Champion Hurdle:

INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION

Magic Court 1964 1964

Salmon Spray 1965 1966

Bula 1972 1972

Comedy Of Errors 1973, 1974 1973, 1975

Sea Pigeon 1975 1980, 1981

Rooster Booster 2002 2003

Binocular 2008 2010

Salmon Spray, Comedy Of Errors (1974 success) and Rooster Booster are the three horses to win the two races in

the same season.

Unicoin Group Handicap Chase

Facts & Figures

Background information

The race has been run 45 times in total since 1963. It was not held in 1964, 1968 or 1969, while frost intervened

in 1976 and 1987, snow caused the abandonment of the 1981 card and the 1967 meeting was lost due to the foot

and mouth epidemic.

The distance has alternated during its history, though the contest has always taken place between three miles and

three miles & two furlongs (the present distance).

Betting

Favourites have a decent record, obliging on 21 occasions (a 46.7% strike rate). The most recent market leader to

triumph was Midnight Chase at 11/4 in 2010.

Kingscliff at 4/7 in 2003 is the shortest-priced winner, while Benbane Head became the longest-priced scorer when

obliging at 16/1 in 2014.

Trainers

Josh Gifford’s five victories through Jack Madness (1979), Door Latch (1984) and hat-trick hero Yorkshire Gale

(1995, 1996 & 1997) made the trainer, who died in February, 2012, the most successful handler in the race’s history.

Among current trainers, Nicky Henderson, David Pipe and Venetia Williams lead the way with three successes each.

Irish-trained winners

There have been only two Irish-trained winners - Mighty’s Honour in 1978 and Flashing Steel in 1993.

Jockeys

Norman Williamson has been the winning-most rider in the race’s history with five successes aboard Third In Line

(1991), Whispering Steel (1994), Yorkshire Gale (1996 & 1997) and Royale De Vassy (2001).

Tom Scudamore, successful on Master Overseer (2012) and Monbeg Dude (2013), and Timmy Murphy, who scored

on Therealbandit (2004) and The Package (2009), are the only current jockeys to win the Unicoin Group Handicap

Chase more than once.

Weight

The Dikler (1970), Diamond Edge (1980) and Brown Chamberlin (1982) all shouldered 12st to victory. At the other

end of the spectrum, Aachen carried only 9st 9lb to success in 2015, thanks to Charlie Deutsch 5lb claim. Lavenshaw

(1972), Rubstic (1975), Musso (1983), Yorkshire Gale (1995), Tamarindo (1998), Royale De Vassy (2001), The

Package (2009) and Master Overseer (2012) scored with only 10st on their backs.

Age

Tamarindo, a five-year-old when triumphant in 1998, is the youngest winner.

Aachen, victorious in 2015, and Bucko, successful in 1988, are the oldest winners, with both triumphant at the age

of 11.

Field size

The largest fields were in 2007 and 2010, when 16 runners lined up. Only two horses took part in 1996.

Multiple winners

Yorkshire Gale (1995, 1996, 1997) won the contest three times and is the only multiple winner.

Did you know?

Of the winners, Rubstic (1975) and Mon Mome (2008) both subsequently won the Grand National, while The Dikler

(1970) went on to success in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
