It was the 79th running of the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and it was won by the pre-race favourite Kauto Star.
The winner was ridden by Ruby Walsh and trained by Paul Nicholls.
Earlier in the season Kauto Star had won the first two legs of the Betfair Million, the Betfair Chase and the King George VI Chase.
The Gold Cup was the final leg, and his victory earned a bonus prize of £1,000,000.
