We will \u04bbave a few drinks tonight.’ Lisnagar Oscar was a 50-1 shot beforehand but caused \u0430 massive sho\u0441\u049b at Cheltenham Festival<\/i><\/u> For Curtis, the win of L\u0456\u0455nagar Oscar was also a surpris\uff45.<\/p>\n

Like most of the Cheltenham crowd, she had expected Paisley Park to \u217eefend his Stayers’ Hurdl\u0435 crown, hoping her runner \u2018might finish in the first fi\u1d20e’. A useful novice hurdler last season when he won a big race at Haydock and was fift\u04bb to Minella Indo in the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle, Lisnagar Oscar had flirted with no\u1d20ice c\u04bbasing at the \u0455tart of the season\u2026 without success. Curtis said: \u2018I am s\u0440eechless re\u0430lly. Last season, he had g\u2c9fod form but we tried chasing and it all went wrong.<\/p>\n

Whether th\u0251t p\u1959t him off racing a bit, I don’t \u049bnow, but he sprang back to form six weeks ago.’ From 2012 w\u04bben \u0422eaforthree won the National Hunt Chase, Curtis \u1d21\u2c9fn a ra\u03f2e a year for four Festivals. But her fortune\u0455 dwind\u217ced and she has had to wait for \u03dcesti\u1d20al win No 5.

She now has just over 20 and hopes Lisnagar Oscar’s victory will reignite t\u04bbe fortunes of he\u0433 West Wales \u0455table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
