In 2015, Coneygree made history at the Cheltenham Festival with a breathtaking Gold Cup victory, becoming the first novice chaser to win the race since 1974.
Trained by Mark and Sara Bradstock, the eight-year-old arrived at Prestbury Park with just three chase starts to his name. Many questioned whether he had the experience to take on such fierce competition—but from the moment the race began, he silenced the doubters in style.
With Nico de Boinville in the saddle, Coneygree set a relentless pace, jumped flawlessly, and simply ran his rivals into the ground. Despite late challenges from Djakadam and Road To Riches, he dug deep, powering up the famous Cheltenham hill to win by a length and a half.
His victory was more than just a personal triumph for the Bradstock family—it was a rare and special moment for small-scale trainers in a sport often dominated by powerhouse yards.
With his bold, front-running style and fearless jumping, Coneygree became an instant fan favorite. His 2015 Gold Cup win remains one of the most unforgettable performances in modern National Hunt racing.
