    He hasn't won the Arkle for ages (if ever?) and his last QMCC was on Master Minded. RSA perhaps Cooldine was his last win? Ryanair I'm sure he's never won, and I can't remember him having won one of the handicap chases ...................

    Oddy's right. He won the 2009 Gold Cup on Kauto. I can't remember any others more recent. He's the hurdle King.

    Master Minded maybe in the same year also.

    Another good question is what was Ruby's first winner at Cheltenham?

    I've no idea but I think it was a handicap? Maybe I'm wrong. Pretty sure his first grade one jumps win was Azertiyoup in the Arkle.
