Tragedy overshadowed the Cheltenham meeting when three horses died – two in the same race.

Sunday's third and final day of the November Meeting at Cheltenham is overshadowed by the death of three horses.

Earlier this month and 52 years after the first of more than 4,000 winners, the greatest Flat trainer of the last half century, 10-time champion Sir Michael Stoute, retired in his own inimitable way; without fanfare, ceremony or interview.

The 10-1 chance Il Ridoto makes it third time lucky with victory in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham.
