Yeah I think looking at what the whole field did after this probably wasn't an especially strong RSA. The Listener was probably the best horse in the field, going on to win 4 Irish grade 1s. To be fair to the rest of them too, the following season the Gold Cup division welcomed Kauto Star and Exotic Dancer into its ranks and they were both a bit good haha
One of my few successful Cheltenham ante-post bets. Whatever happened to the winner?
Looks like he just lost his way. He turns up in the 2009 Gold Cup but was way behind.
