Road To Riches out of Gold Cup

Noel Meade's bid to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup will have to be put on hold until next year at the earliest with the news today that Road To Riches will not make the trip to Prestbury Park next week.

Road To Riches, which was third in 2015, will miss the big race due to a setback, according to reports.

Meade also had third place finishes from the gallant Harbour Pilot in 2003 and 2004 - Gold Cups won by Best Mate.
