With an eye on today's banner race, the prestigious Cheltenham Gold Cup, Paul said: “I enjoyed myself last night but it's all about getting planned for the day ahead today. If that had won Paul would have walked away with a massive £322,000 but the bookies were surely breathing a small sigh of relief after the favourite crashed out. The Gold Cup, which is usually packed with with over 60,000 racegoers and celebrities, tales place behind closed doors this year. But bookies believe punters will still bet a staggering £30m on the Gold Cup race alone with £300m punted on the horses across the festival's action packed four days. The Gold Cup is second only to the Grand National as the year's biggest betting day.
