A further four Irish winners at Cheltenham today has made a bad situation worse for the bookies. Top Irish bookie Paddy Power claims to have been “absolutely gelded” by the run of results at Cheltenham today.

Punters had to pinch themselves to make sure they were not dreaming as several Festival hotpots romped home at the Prestbury Park today including the Willie Mullins Irish favourite Cooldine and outright Festival banker, Master Minded.

Paddy Power said “Suffice to say Willie Mullins is off our Christmas card list. This afternoon Cooldine finished off what Quevega started yesterday. We’ve been well and truly gelded by the Carlow man. Punters 2, bookies 0!”
