Tony McCoy will ride Denman in the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup on March 19. McCoy received the call-up to partner the brilliant chaser as Ruby Walsh, Paul Nicholls' first-choice rider, has remained loyal to stablemate Kauto Star.
A farmer travelling with his load Picked up a horseshoe on the road, And nailed if fast to his barn door, That luck might down upon him pour; That every blessing known in life Might crown his homestead and his wife, And never any kind of harm Descend upon his growing farm.
