CHELTENHAM, England (AP) — Imperial Commander has won the Cheltenham Gold Cup, beating 2008 winner Denman after two-time winner Kauto Star fell with four fences to go.
Ridden by Paddy Brennan, Imperial Commander pulled away from Denman at the last fence to win by several lengths after the odds-on favorite Kauto Star tumbled and finished fifth.
Last year’s Grand National winner, Mon Mome, was third.
