, Bravemansgame wins King George and sets sight on Gold Cup for DJ owner after L’Homme Presse crashes out at the last

BRAVEMANSGAME won a thrilling King George after big rival L’Homme Presse crashed out at the last in a Christmas cracker at Kempton.

Champion trainer Paul Nicholls – dubbed the ‘King of Christmas on ITV – celebrated a record 13th win and now sets sights on the Gold Cup at Cheltenham.

Charlie Deutsch is totally gutted after being unseated from L’Homme Presse

Bookies slashed Bravemansgame to around 7-1 for the Festival feature.

Bravemansgame thrashed 12-1 runner-up Royale Pagaille by 14 lengths with Sun Racing columnist Bryony Frost a gallant third on 18-1 Frodon.

L’Homme Presse looked booked for the second spot until dramatically unseating Charlie Deutsch at the last.

But it’s John Dance, a DJ and one of the owners of Bravemansgame, who could be showing some serious moves of his own come March.

Nicholls, who recently spoke of becoming a dad at 60, said after the race: “He stayed on really strongly. He’s a very good horse when he’s right.

“Frodon is 10 going on 11 and he ran a cracker too.

“You’ve always got to look forward and not back.

“Bravemansgame will go straight to the Gold Cup now – I just hope it’s slightly better ground.

“You’ve got to go and give it a go, if it’s nice ground I’m very happy to run him.

“He’s mature enough to get the trip at Cheltenham, we’ve got to give it our best shot.”
