WATCH: This Irish dad’s reaction to a losing Cheltenham bet needs to be seen

Tony Cuddihy

It may be a cliché, but this really is ‘every Irish dad ever’.

Filmed by Helena Clarke, this shows Raymond O’Toole jumping every fence along with jockey Davy Russell and Noble Endeavor on the opening day of Cheltenham on Tuesday.

Look at that magnificent stance. Incredible stuff.

Sadly for Dubliner Raymond, he couldn’t pick a winner on this occasion – our favourite bit is where he appears to tell his barking dog to “fuck off!” – but he’s still an absolute champ for this incredible show of rhythm.

Magnificent stuff.

Thanks to both Helena and Raymond’s partner Patsy for sending this our way.
