    What a super way to honor the Cheltenham Festival, where the Horse is King and the crowds consist of his friends honoring great sport and admiring trying hearts and gameness .

    Ah, Paddy Power, the same Paddy Power who a few years ago paid out on all bets of Stoke getting relegated from the Premier League one game into the season. Stoke ended up not getting relegated. Got to love Paddy Power!
