Waley-Cohen talks up Long Run ahead of the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup [07:49]
Long Run will be wearing cheekpieces in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup according to owners, Robert Waley-Cohen. He was speaking to Betfred TV ahead of this year's Festival as Long Run looks to regain the crown he won back in 2011. If he managed it, Long Run would become only the second horse after Kauto Star to win the Cup in non-consecutive years. For those looking for good omens, Long Run returned to winning form on Boxing Day in the King George VI Chase, the same race he won ahead of the 2011 Gold Cup. He will line up alongside favourite, Bobs Worth as well as hotly tipped Sir Des Champs and Silviniaco Conti. It should be a fantastic race.

The entire accident only took a few seconds -- from the car's flipping, to the explosion, to the driver running out of the car screaming and on fire -- but it was still one of the funniest things the fans had ever seen. "Oh, man. That was awesome," said Richard Jensen. "This was the first time I've been to a funny car race, but if they are all this good, I'll be back again. Hi-larious. It's rare these days for something to be understated in its title."Jon Heller, the driver whose car exploded, was happy to entertain the crowd."It's always hard to hear the laughter when the flames are roaring all around you," said Heller. "But once the bandages are removed from over my ears upon completion of the skin grafts, I will listen to the tapes."
