It was the 65th running of the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and it was won by Cool Ground.
The winner was ridden by Adrian Maguire and trained by Toby Balding.
It was a controversial result, as some observers felt that the rank outsider Golden Freeze was ridden with the intention of unsettling Carvill's Hill by jumping alongside him at every fence.
