The Cheltenham Gold Cup which was won by Charter Party has been stolen from the home of owner Raymond Mould this week.
Charter Party was trained by the late David Nicholson and ridden by Richard Dunwoody when he came up trumps on the famous Cheltenham hill in 1988.
Trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies, the handler of reigning Gold Cup champion Imperial Commander who now handles several of Mould’s horses, announced the news on Wednesday.
He said, “I’m afraid it is Charter Party’s Gold Cup that has been stolen … They’ve broken into his house and stolen it.
“What happens is they make a new one every year and the owners get to keep that.”
