St Patrick’s Thursday did not disappoint with the Cheltenham day 3 results the Festival produced. The action switched to fresh ground on the New course but the going was still pretty soft.

1:30 – Turners Novices Chase Result
| Position | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Distance | SP |
| 1st | Bob Olinger | Rachael Blackmore | Henry De Bromhead | 40 lengths | 6/5 |
| 2nd | Busselton | JJ Slevin | Joseph O’Brien | 28 lengths | 50/1 |
| 3rd | El Barra | Patrick Mullins | Willie Mullins | Last to finish | 28/1 |
A dramatic opening Turners Novices Chase saw Bob Olinger score in fortunate fashion after the final fence fall for Galopin Des Champs when clear. This dramatic departure for the favourite gifted Rachael Blackmore and Henry De Bromhead the luckiest of Cheltenham day 3 results here.
There was 40 lengths back to Busselton in the remotest of seconds. A depleted field saw El Barra third and last to finish.
2:10 – Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle Result
| Position | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Distance | SP |
| 1st | Third Wind | Tom O’Brien | Hughie Morrison | neck | 25/1 |
| 2nd | Alaphilippe | Paddy Brennan | Fergal O’Brien | 2 lengths | 11/2JF |
| 3rd | Mill Green | Nico de Boinville | Nicky Henderson | 1¼ lengths | 33/1 |
| 4th | Winter Fog | Paul Townend | Emmet Mullins | 4 lengths | 11/2JF |
Third Wind was fourth in the Pertemps Final two years ago but put it all together to land the spoils at 25/1 for new father Tom O’Brien. Hughie Morrison’s runner survived a stewards’ enquiry with the first past the post from Cheltenham day 3 results confirmed.
Third Wind prevailed by a neck from the well-backed Alaphilippe from the local yard of Fergal O’Brien. That one was sent off joint-favourite on horse racing betting sites with Irish raider Winter Fog, who was fourth behind Mill Green. Honest Vic and If The Cap Fits ran into the minor money in this staying handicap hurdle.
2:50 – Ryanair Chase Result
| Position | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Distance | SP |
| 1st | Allaho | Paul Townend | Willie Mullins | 14 lengths | 4/7F |
| 2nd | Janidil | Mark Walsh | Willie Mullins | ¾ of a length | 12/1 |
| 3rd | Eldorado Allen | Brendan Powell Jr | Colin Tizzard | 13 lengths | 14/1 |
Allaho became only the second horse in Ryanair Chase history to win the race more than once. The red-hot favourite for Mullins and jockey Paul Townend delivered in this co-feature with another demolition job. Allaho bolted up, leading home a stable 1-2 with Janidil staying on best of those in-behind.
Irish Gold Cup winner Conflated fell with Davy Russell taking a tumble not for the first time at the Festival. Cheltenham day 3 results show Eldorado Allen, who tried to take Allaho on early, taking third for Colin Tizzard. Many people’s banker on St Patrick’s Thursday delivered in spades once again.
3:30 – Paddy Power Stayers Hurdle Result
| Position | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Distance | SP |
| 1st | Flooring Porter | Danny Mullins | Gavin Cromwell | 2¾ lengths | 4/1 |
| 2nd | Thyme Hill | Tom O’Brien | Philip Hobbs | nose | 11/2 |
| 3rd | Paisley Park | Aidan Coleman | Emma Lavelle | 1¼ lengths | 17/2 |
Another of last year’s winners repeated in the Cheltenham day 3 results as Flooring Porter made it consecutive victories in the Stayers Hurdle. He retained his crown under a great tactical ride from the front by Danny Mullins.
Thyme Hill just held second from the rallying veteran Paisley Park with Champ and Klassical finishing out of the frame. Irish trainer Gavin Cromwell got Flooring Porter right once again on the biggest stage of all.
4:10 – Plate Handicap Chase Result
| Position | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Distance | SP |
| 1st | Coole Cody | Adam Wedge | Evan Williams | 6½ lengths | 22/1 |
| 2nd | Imperial Alcazar | Paddy Brennan | Fergal O’Brien | nose | 7/2F |
| 3rd | Spiritofthegames | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | 1 length | 12/1 |
| 4th | Stolen Silver | Sam Twiston-Davies | Sam Thomas | ¾ of a length | 18/1 |
Cheltenham standing dish Coole Cody had another moment in the sun at the grand old age of 11 winning the Plate. He had only raced at this course since finishing fourth in the race 12 months ago.
All that experience of the hill helped him prevail over Imperial Alcazar, who couldn’t handle the welter burden of 8lb more than his course and distance win on Festival Trials Day. This was a winner for Wales among Cheltenham day 3 results with Spiritofthegames just a nose behind in the unlucky O’Brien outfit in third.
4:50 – Ryanair Mares Novices Hurdle Result
| Position | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Distance | SP |
| 1st | Love Enovi | Jonathan Burke | Harry Fry | 1¼ lengths | 15/2 |
| 2nd | Ahorsewithnoname | Nico de Boinville | Nicky Henderson | 1½ lengths | 50/1 |
| 3rd | Grangee | Paul Townend | Willie Mullins | 1¾ lengths | 13/2 |
The soft surface really suited Love Envoi, who became the first British trained winner of the Ryanair Mares Novices Hurdle at the Festival. Proven over, this was Harry Fry’s first winner at the meeting since Unowhatimeanharry.
Her proven stamina over further sealed things for Love Envoi, who led home a UK 1-2 with 50/1 outsider Ahorsewithnoname in second. Grangee was best of the Irish in the Cheltenham day 3 results here after favourite Dinoblue bombed out and Brandy Love missed the race through lameness.
5:30 – Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Result
| Position | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Distance | SP |
| 1st | Chambard | Lucy Turner [3] | Venetia Williams | 2½ lengths | 40/1 |
| 2nd | Mister Coffey | Sam Waley-Cohen | Nicky Henderson | 1 length | 5/1F |
| 3rd | Didero Vallis | James King | Venetia Williams | ½ a length | 66/1 |
| 4th | Fakir D’Alene | Harry Swan [3] | Gordon Elliott | 9½ lengths | 33/1 |
Venetia Williams had a second winner of the Festival with the thriving Chambard scoring again. Lucy Turner rode the Kim Muir winner who held the well-backed favourite Mister Coffey up the famous hill.
Williams also saddled the third, Didero Vallis, with both of her horse returned at massive Cheltenham odds here. Irish raider Fakir D’Alene was fourth. This completed the Cheltenham day 3 result from another memorable St Patrick’s Thursday.
