Bob Olinger beat favourite Teahupoo to win the Stayers’ Hurdle, as Rachael Blackmore secured a second victory on the third day of the Cheltenham Festival.
Blackmore provided Henry de Bromhead with a 16-1 win in the opening race of the day, as Air Of Entitlement won the Mares Novice Hurdle, and she backed it up with an even more significant winner three hours later.
Teahupoo had been travelling well and took the lead on the turn to home, but Bob Olinger moved alongside and they took the last together, before he powered away up the hill for his third Festival victory.
It completed the set of wins in Cheltenham feature races for Blackmore, who already has victories in the Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase and Ryanair Chase to her name.
"I'm very lucky to be on this horse,” Blackmore said.
“He is brilliant. He has so much speed and could use it. They went a good gallop but he could still pick up when it was needed.
"He is unbeaten around here. I know one day was fortuitous but he has luck on his side and is a very very good horse."
Trainer Henry de Bromhead added: "Super ride from Rachael, amazing work from all of the team from home to get him back like that. To win with him, my assistant would take a bullet for him, he adores him. He was delighted with him coming over.
"He's just a class horse. You have to look at his record - he was unbeaten. I looked at the betting and I couldn't believe it. Brilliant, amazing, delighted.”
