2010 Champion Hurdle Result - Joy For McCoy

Binocular, trained by Nicky Henderson and ridden by champion jockey, Tony McCoy was for many the surprise winner of the 2010 Champion Hurdle. Almost withdrawn a fortnight ago, Binocular was showing signs of indifference at home, but an encouraging training run a week before Cheltenham seemed to have put him right.

No matter what his problems were, he was certainly back to his very best in the race. He was always going well and only had Khyber Kim to beat when they came to the last. It looked, just for the briefest of moments that Khyber Kim, who had also been running very well, was going to put in a huge effort, but Binocular saw him off once McCoy shook his reins once or twice.

It was McCoy’s third win in the race and the second year running that trainer Henderson had saddled the first and third in the race. It was also Henderson’s 35th winner at the Festival.

• 1st Binocular, N Henderson, AP McCoy, 9/1
• 2nd Khyber Kim, N Twiston-Davies, P Brennan, 7/1
• 3rd Zaynar, N Henderson, A Tinkler, 15/2.

It will be worthwhile visiting the unofficial Cheltenham Betting site, which provides many racing facts designed to assist with any bet being made.
