Queen Mother Chase 2004 Cheltenham Result
Azertyuiop put in a superb performance to take the Queen Mother Champion Chase after the favourite Moscow Flyer fell with four fences to go.
A true championship event, with two outstanding two-miler chaser in the line-up, and they went a good pace too, but there was a terrible sense of anti-climax when Moscow Flyer departed before things got serious this leave us in the dark as to which of the pair would have come out on top. The former champion had matched his rival up to that point and still looked full of running, close up in third on the outside, when he went. It was a sweet victory for jockey Ruby Walsh and trainer Paul Nicholls after finishing second to Moscow Flyer at Sandown in December.
