Pub popular with horse racing community closes
A village pub that was a popular place of celebration among the horse racing community has closed. The Hollow Bottom in the Cotswold village of Guiting Power lies about ten miles (16km) east of from Cheltenham Racecourse and was a popular spot for celebrating Gold Cup wins and yard successes. Jo Collinson, a groom who formerly worked for trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies, said the pub's atmosphere was "just as amazing as Gold Cup day itself" when Imperial Commander, who she looked after, brought home the trophy in 2010. A spokesperson for Young's, which owns the Hollow Bottom, said it was closing after "a careful review of our plans" before the lease ended. More news stories for Gloucestershire Listen to the latest news for Gloucestershire The Hollow Bottom previously closed in 2019 and was purchased and reopened by the Lucky Onion, a hospitality group owned by Julian Dunkerton, the founder of Superdry. Young's bought it in 2022. They announced that the pub was closing on Sunday. "We would like to thank the local community for their support over the last five years. We will be in contact directly with any customers who have future bookings with the pub." Now a groom for Jonjo O'Neill, Ms Collinson said "every Christmas party and many birthday celebrations" were spent at the Hollow Bottom when she worked for Twiston-Davies, who is based in nearby Naunton. Ms Collinson said she helped take three winning horses, including Imperial Commander down to the "absolutely heaving" Hollow Bottom on Gold Cup Day 2010. "There were people on the flat roof above the door, the cars couldn't get through on the road, it was amazing. "It was like leading him back in on the racecourse all over again... We piled down the Hollow Bottom to celebrate it for days." Ms Collinson said the pub was "wild" after every meet, regardless of the time of year. "A piece of my heart will always be at the Hollow Bottom, when we celebrated winners and had those Christmas parties there and had a lot of fun with the best friends," she said. "It was the best times and I'll never forget them." Follow BBC Gloucestershire on Facebook, X and Instagram. Send your story ideas to us on email or via WhatsApp on 0800 313 4630.

Cheltenham festival 2025: Gold Cup countdown and more
Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature Official going news from the Jockey Club. Friday 14th March The going for day four of The Cheltenham Festival 2025 today, Gold Cup Day, is: Good to Soft Action takes place on the New Course today, which was also in use yesterday (St Patrick's Thursday). The first two days of The Festival, Champion Day and Style Wednesday, took place on the Old Course. Jon Pullin, Clerk of the Course at Cheltenham Racecourse, said this morning: 'We have had three fantastic days of racing so far. We are very much looking forward to another good one today and hoping to see Galopin Des Champs join greats of the past in winning three Cheltenham Gold Cups. 'There are seven races again today, with the first off at 1.20pm and the first six races live on ITV. 'The going for today is Good to Soft. Temperatures dipped down to -3.5C overnight, but we had covered yesterday's racing lines, so it's all systems go for the day ahead.' Share Greg Wood And unlike Mullins's Al Boum Photo, who came up short as a 9-4 shot when attempting a third straight win in 2021, it is very hard to see Galopin Des Champs being beaten. With the sole exception of his stumble three years ago, Galopin Des Champs has scarcely made a mistake in any of his previous starts at the festival, but the real secret to his dominance, the special power that sets him apart not only from the current crop of chasers but all but a handful of the greats of the past, is the raw finishing power that kicks in as he closes out a race. Share Greg Wood Cheltenham 1.20 James Owen's East India Dock has already posted two outstanding performances for a juvenile at this track when successful at both the November and December meetings. Both wins were recorded in notably fast times and a repeat of either performance would probably be enough here, although further progress from this hugely promising four-year-old would be no great surprise either. Share Greg Wood Good morning from Cheltenham on one of the most eagerly-awaited days of the racing year: Gold Cup day at Cheltenham, the pinnacle of the National Hunt season and this year a very rare opportunity to see a two-time winner of the race attempt to join the tiny band of immortals – Golden Miller, Cottage Rake, Arkle and Best Mate – with three Gold Cup victories to their name. We have been here once before quite recently, as another Willie Mullins-trained chaser, Al Boum Photo, went for the three-timer just four years ago. But even with the benefit of hindsight – he finished third as the 9-4 favourite – his tilt at racing history lacked conviction. Galopin Des Champs, by contrast, will be long odds-on to get the job done this afternoon, even with the Grand National favourite, Inothewayurthinkin, in the field as a late supplementary. He is also a festival stalwart, making his fifth visit to the meeting and looking for his fourth success (the only blip being a bizarre stumble after the last when victory seemed assured in a novice chase here three years ago). Banbridge, the King George VI Chase winner, is another live rival, but his stamina at this extended three-and-a-quarter miles is far from assured, and Galopin Des Champs will set off at around 4-7 to secure his membership of a very elite club. The going remains good-to-soft, the covers on the track did their job after temperatures dipped to -3.5C overnight, and the gates have opened to welcome what is certain to be the biggest crowd of a week when attendance has been a concern. When Cheltenham is packed, the customer experience is not always what it should be, but for many National Hunt fans, the chance to be here on one of those festival days that no-one will ever forget is simply too much of a draw. You can follow all the action live as the final day of the meeting unfolds here on our live blog, and we are underway at 1.20 with the juvenile hurdling championship, the Triumph Hurdle. Share
