Simonsig was just one of seven winners for Henderson at Cheltenham
"Henderson also enjoyed an unforgettable Wednesday with four winners helping him to eclipse the previous record of most Festival winners held by Fulke Walwyn..."
Nicky Henderson completed a brilliant week at the Cheltenham Festival on Friday, with Bellvano marking his seventh winner of the National Hunt showpiece when taking the final race...
The victory of Bellvano, under a brilliant ride from Paul Carberry, may prove the most memorable of the seven for Henderson, as the J P Mcmanus owned gelding led home Tanks for That to complete a stable 1-2, in the race named in honor of Henderson's father.
Henderson also enjoyed an unforgettable Wednesday with four winners helping him to eclipse the previous record of most Festival winners held by Fulke Walwyn.
Henderson extended his number of Festival winners to 46 this year and was claiming his ninth Trainers' title at the Prestbury Park venue.
Barry Geraghty also secured his second Jockeys' title with five winners after previously clinching the prize in 2005, when he also rode the same total. Wednesday also proved the most successful day for Gergahty, who rode Simonsig, Bobs Worth and Finian's Rainbow in little over an hour to complete a Grade 1 winning treble.
The Henderson Wednesday four-timer was completed in the Coral Cup as Une Artiste took the prize under young-rider Jeremiah McGrath, who was claiming his first victory at the Festival.
