• 10-1 shot Il Ridoto wins Paddy Power Gold Cup
• Victory follows L’Eau Du Sud’s Arkle triumph

Sir Alex Ferguson’s dream weekend as a racehorse owner continued on Saturday as Il Ridoto, a 10-1 chance, completed a second big-race double in two days for the former Manchester United manager in the Paddy Power Gold Cup.

Freddie Gingell, Il Ridoto’s rider, was always close to the pace in the feature race of Cheltenham’s November meeting and edged to the front around the home turn, before opening a decisive lead with fine jumps over the last two fences.
