probably one of the best GC's i seen ever. synchronised never looked like doing much until literally the last bit. he never looked in contention. i had money on him each way and at 1 point doubted id even get a place. amazing victory by a great horse and great jockey. i cried when i heard he had died. still brings a tear to my eye watching this. RIP synchronised :'(

James 84 same, I thought it was an open gold cup so back it as the only horse would keep running when the other ls cried enough, they shouldn’t have ran him in the grand national because looking at how the gold cup was run the following year he would have definitely won that considering it was on soft ground and they all finished so tired

So sad he died less than a month later. You can question the decision to run him in it but even watching this he looks more of a National horse than a Gold Cup horse. It must also be remembered that he was fine after he fell, he injured himself several fences later when running along of his own accord. It's just a very unfortunate accident.

I don't know how to watch this race. I repeated it over and over on the day, crying my eyes out for Kauto. He was applauded as pulled up, some jockey's looked around to watch him go. I sobbed because he still looked so proud and I cried thinking he may never race again. I didn't even want to look at Synchronised, he shouldn't have won Kauto's race but after the Grand National... I was heartbroken for him and his connections. So I've not watched this race since, and don't know if I ever will.

I was delighted for McCoy. The greatest champion of all is an accurate description and he has been frustrated time and again at the festival. A second Gold Cup on his CV is right and proper and didn't he earn it? For those saying it was a poor Gold Cup the issue is irrelevant. The Gold Cup is one of those events in sport that are all about winning. If you win you are a champion.

Wow! I watched this without knowing anything about the horses or the riders. Just looking for some quarantine entertainment! At the beginning I randomly picked a horse to win that I would find out during the race was Synchronized. So I followed his trip during the race and assumed that I had no chance. Was encouraged when he came up and got in the final group of seven or so, but then he appeared to tail off. That last stretch was incredible as he looked for openings and then finally exploded over the last jump and won going away! Incredible ride!

Was saddened by Kauto pulling up but it was the right thing to do, hope connections decide this summer that he'd run his last race. Also stuck a couple of pounds on Synchronised (as well as Kauto), fancied him as he'd won a Welsh National & Midlands National (trips longer distanced than the Gold Cup) so he had plenty of stamina though his jumping was my only concern, but great ride by the champ AP McCoy.

No matter what anyone says, this wasn't the best of Gold Cups by a long way. Saying that, The Giant Bolster ran a massive race and would have been a lot closer to Synchronised had he not got in very tight to the last. Synchronised took about 2-3 lengths out of him there. I was also impressed with Time For Rupert, who ran very well to finish 5th and must have felt great down the hill and off the bend to Denis O'Regan, who had a few looks between his legs! He may be closer again next year.

Wish people would stop harping on about what a 'bad' gold cup this was, just enjoy the horse that won it! Synchronised isn't a bad horse ad neither are the one's he beat, they can't all be kautos and Denmans. It was a vintage ride by McCoy and he andSync won be 72 quid :) and I really think Kauto should be retired now, he doesn't owe anyone anything and there's only so much you can ask of a horse...I'm sure connections will do what is right for him though

People remember Desert Orchid because of his racing career. As with Red Rum. If it wasn't for Racing most of these horses wouldn't even exist. The horse did not die of a heart attack, he died when jumping of his own accord and breaking his leg. I ask again, what the fuck does that have to do with the vet? There was nothing wrong with the horse, the vet checked him and let him go. His short run up the track had no bearing on his untimely death

Well done connections of Synchronised. We may well see the last of Kauto Star on a British track. Time will tell. Long Run could not defend the title which really sums up this four day meet. The Giant Bolster ran a cracking race and nearly a Norton's Coin moment from 1990.
