Big Orange shows a fantastic attitude to fend off Order Of St George
The Michael Bell-trained Big Orange showed that he had a big heart to go with his big frame, as he landed a thrilling renewal of the G1 Gold Cup under James Doyle.
"I wasn't sure if Order Of St George was just lugging into him a little bit, but it just gave him a little wake-up call and I always knew he was going to hold him to the line. I knew he had won crossing the line, but when I saw it was a photo, I thought, I hope I haven't gone too soon! I only knew I was going to be on this horse a couple of mornings ago and he is the people's horse - it was just a pleasure to ride him."
