Cottage Rake: Cheltenham Festival record
Cottage Rake has won 3 races at the Cheltenham Festival, from the 1948 Cheltenham Gold Cup to the 1950 Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Cottage Rake's three Gold Cups from 1948 to 1950, trained by Vincent O'Brien and ridden by Aubrey Brabazon, were the first great Irish story of the modern Festival and did much to build the Irish following the meeting still has.

Festival runs only. Wins in the championship races are on file back to 1924, and the first four home in every race from 2022, so this is a Cheltenham record rather than a full career history.
