It has been 36 years since Carmarthenshire-based dairy farmer Sirrell Griffiths received the Cheltenham Gold Cup with 100-1 shot Norton’s Coin.
However, Curtis has loved loads of Cheltenham Festival success since beginning her coaching profession in 2008.
Her first winner was in 2012, when Teaforthree received the Amateur Riders Chase, with the horse happening to end second within the English Grand National the next 12 months.
She sends a powerful workforce to this 12 months’s pageant, however all eyes will likely be on Friday, 13 March at 16:00 GMT, when Haiti Couleurs traces up in probably the most prestigious race of the week – the Gold Cup.
“I think the race will really suit him,” mentioned Curtis.
“He seems to love Cheltenham, he’s won twice around there already. I just think he’s got everything you need for a Gold Cup.
“He travels strongly, he jumps effectively, and I do suppose you want an actual stayer for the Gold Cup, three miles and two and a half furlongs, a giant hill end, and go an end-to-end gallop.
“So yeah, we’ll see, I think he’s got all the right credentials for it.”
