The 2021 Cheltenham Festival lived up to the weighty expectations that were placed on it in the build-up to the biggest week of the racing year. We had the brilliant winners that marked themselves down as potential superstars, while Tiger Roll literally rolled back the years with an emotional win that epitomized the National Hunt game. He has been a horse of a lifetime for not just connections but the general public. The fact that these horses can be enjoyed for several years allows the public to connect with them in a different way and become as familiar with them as those closest to them. While the Irish dominance has been the topic of huge debate, I believe that those involved in that dominance should be celebrated for their achievements in the game. We have become accustomed to Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott dominating at Cheltenham but Henry De Bromhead has built an incredible stable over the past few years and he was in scintillating form.
