The unforgettable week for Waterford trainer Henry de Bromhead has got even better.
The Knockeen trainer sent out the first two home in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham this afternoon when 9/1 chance Minella Indo just saw off his better-fancied stablemate A Plus Tard in an exciting finish.
The favourite Al Boum Photo finished in third.

It's the first time in history that a trainer has won three feature races at Cheltenham.
Henry de Bromhead sent out Honeysuckle in the Champion Hurdle on Tuesday and followed up with the Champion Chase on day two with Put The Kettle On.
Earlier, de Bromhead combined with Rachael Blackmore to land the JCB Triumph Hurdle, the opening race on the final day of the festival, with Quilixios.
