History was made today (17 March) when Put The Kettle On became the first ever mare to win the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham Festival. Trained by Henry De Bromhead, who also trained yesterday’s Champion Hurdle winner Honeysuckle, the seven-year-old mare, owned by the One For Luck Racing Syndicate, charged up the hill to win by half a length over Nube Negra.
Jockey Aidan Coleman said: “This mare is something else. I don’t think anyone has ridden a tougher mare and it’s testament to her ability she could hear them coming behind her and she just gave it everything.
