Cheltenham Festival 2022 Friday results in full: Every winner including Gold Cup

The 2022 Cheltenham Festival is reaching its climax with the iconic Gold Cup leading the entertainment this Friday.

Yesterday Flooring Porter and Allaho took the headlines by retaining their respective titles. But today all eyes will be on the showpiece race at 3.30pm when the Gold Cup gets underway.

Last year's champion Minella Indo, runner-up A Plus Tard and Al Boum Photo will be among 11 contenders racing to the finish in the prestigious race. Galvin is another leading Irish challenger, while Protektorat, Chantry House and Royale Pagaille are some of the British-trained hopefuls.

However, that is not the only piece of action to hit the Cheltenham racecourse during the final day of the festival. The first race of the day comes just after 1.30pm, with a competitive field contesting the JCB Triumph Hurdle.

Surprisingly, British and Irish bragging rights remain in the balance too, with the Irish going into the final day just 11-10 up in race winners. Ahead of all the action here is the full racecard for day three at the Festival.
