1990 Cheltenham Gold Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1990 Cheltenham Gold Cup was a horse race which took place at Cheltenham on Thursday March 15, 1990. It was the 63rd running of the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and it was won by Norton's Coin. The winner was ridden by Graham McCourt and trained by Sirrel Griffiths. The pre-race favourite Desert Orchid finished third.

With a starting price of 100/1, Norton's Coin became the longest-odds winner in the race's history; he had only been entered due a mistake over the deadline for another race.[1] He was the second winner to be trained in Wales – the first was Patron Saint in 1928.
