Bet 365 Gold Cup at Sandown
Step Back gave us all a day to remember on the last day of the 2017 – 2018 season when he was the runaway victor of the Bet 365 Gold Cup (previously known as the Whitbread) to add another Big Win to our incredible tally of wins in the most prestigious jump races. He is not related to Coneygree or Carruthers but his jumping and stamina are of a similar standard and jumping the railway fences for the second time, he had already taken control of the race, with only Rock of Kasbah looking a likely danger. However, knowing every inch of the way he thinks and goes I was quietly confident and he certainly made us all very proud as he strode away up the hill in impressive style.
