I paid just £49.99 for a race horse and now I have a Cheltenham Festival winner
STAGE STAR led from the front to win the first race on day three at Cheltenham.
The 15-2 shot fended off Notlongtillmay (40/1) and hot favourite Mighty Potter (4/6) to score the Grade 1 Turners Novices’ Chase.

Harry Cobden was in the saddle for the Paul Nicholls trained seven-year-old gelding.
Stage Star is owned by the Owners Group syndicate.
The syndicate is made up of a big group of people who have shares in the horse.
Some of Stage Star’s co-owners were there at Cheltenham to cheer him home.
And shares in the horse cost just £49.99 per year.
A bargain price considering the prize pot for the race was £98,573 altogether.
Following the victory, winning trainer Nicholls suggested Stage Star could target the Ryanair Chase next year.
He told Racing TV: “He was brilliant.
