Rachael Blackmore has become the first female in history to ride a winner in the Gold Cup after a strong finish on A Plus Tard.
Always travelling strongly, there was a moment of concern turning in as she was caught in behind horses as stablemate and last year's winner Minella Indo set sail for home at the Cheltenham Festival.
However, between the final two fences, it was clear she had him covered, alongside jumping the last and powering clear to score by 15 lengths.
