Jezki takes Champion Hurdle victory

Jezki edged out My Tent Or Yours to win the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham with The New One third after being halted by the fatal fall of Our Conor. The 9-1 winner, ridden by Barry Geraghty for Irish trainer Jessica Harrington, won by a neck with favourite Hurricane Fly denied a third title as he finished in fourth place. Geraghty urged his mount home to beat champion jockey AP McCoy on the shorter-priced My Tent Or Yours (3-1) in a 1-2 for owner JP McManus. Our Conor fell on the far side of therack and, after lengthy treatment, the decision was taken to put down the five-year-old because of a back injury sustained in the fall.
