A horse owned by Brighton and Hove Albion chairman Tony Bloom has won the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival today (Wednesday 16 March).
Energumene, trained in Ireland by Willie Mullins and ridden by Paul Townend, won by several lengths after the favourite Shishkin, was pulled up after jumping the sixth from home.
Shishkin, with Nico de Boinville in the saddle, did not seem happy with the heavy ground conditions.
Bloom, in an Albion overcoat, collected the trophy from the Princess Royal.
