Got this from the web:

"The Cheltenham Gold Cup is a Grade 1 National Hunt horse race in the United Kingdom for five-year-old and above horses. It is run over a distance of 3 miles 2½ furlongs (5,331 metres) on the New Course at Cheltenham Racecourse during the Cheltenham Festival in March. There are twenty-two fences to be jumped in the race.

It was first run in on March 12, 1924, and is the most prestigious[citation needed] chase in Great Britain.

The most successful horse in Gold Cup history was Golden Miller, who won five times from 1932. Three other horses have won the race three times consecutively - Cottage Rake in 1948-1950, Arkle in 1964-1966 and Best Mate in 2002-2004. Trainer Michael Dickinson trained the first five horses home in the race in 1983. The finishing order was Bregawn, Captain John, Wayward Lad, Silver Buck and Ashley House."
