Watch: Michael O'Leary rejects 'vicious' rumour that he delayed flight back to Dublin
Ordering a ham and cheese panini could be enough to get you removed from a Ryanair flight back to Dublin if CEO Michael O'Leary is present having just won the Grand National. That was the tongue-in-cheek threat in 2019 when his horse Tiger Roll won in Aintree, with the Dubliner telling passengers 'on board this flight we're drinking.' The horse won the major horse racing tournament in 2018 and again in 2019, with footage of Michael O'Leary on the flight back to Dublin in 2019 in a celebratory form. Pic: TikTok The video was shared on TikTok with the Ryanair boss telling passengers that there was a 'vicious and unfounded rumour circulating' that the flight delay was due to him wanting to catch the flight back to Dublin. 'Good evening ladies and gentleman, you are all very welcome on board this somewhat delayed Ryanair to Dublin,' Michael said to eruptions of cheers from passengers. 'There is a vicious and unfounded rumour circulating that we delayed this flight deliberately so that I could get back here from Aintree. This is entirely untrue. @horseracingawaydays 🏇✈️🍻Throwback When Ryanair And Tiger Roll Owner Michael O'Leary Bought The Passengers Free Drinks Each On The Flight Back To Ireland After The Grand National, He Received Criticism For Only Buying One Drink Each, So He Raised His Game This Time! 😂 #throwback #michaeloleary #ryanair #tigerroll #grandnational #horseracingawaydays #horseracing ♬ original sound – H⭕️rse Racing Away Days 'Your flight this evening was delayed by a bunch of Germans this morning who were screwing around the ATC so it had nothing whatsoever to do with me.' A shout from a passenger telling Michael to 'get on with it,' could then be heard with the 64-year-old hitting back that 'it's not too late' for the passenger to be 'offloaded.' He continued: 'As is tradition on evenings when we win the Grand National, we're having a free bar on board this flight. I got some criticism last year by limiting it to to one drink per person so that the crew could get to the end of the aircraft. O'Leary then extended congratulations to Tiger Roll trainer Gordon Elliot and jockey Davy Russell, who were amongst passengers on the flight back to Dublin. Pic: ©INPHO/Oisin Keniry 'Now you'll have two drinks per person.' He added that 'if anyone orders a ham and cheese panini or a sandwich, I'm offloading you personally off this flight. 'You can buy your food in Dublin. On board this flight we're drinking.' O'Leary then extended congratulations to Tiger Roll trainer Gordon Elliot and jockey Davy Russell, who were amongst passengers on the flight back to Dublin. Owner Michael O'Leary celebrates with winner Delta Work (left) and second place Tiger Roll (right) at Cheltenham in 2022. Pic: ©INPHO/Dan Sheridan 'Thank you very much everybody, sorry for the delay but we'll blame the Germans,' he concluded. The post was met with a range of comments with some hitting out at the airline for their attempts at costly measures while others praised O'Leary. 'He owns Tiger Roll? That horse won me a lot of money a few years back,' one said. Another added: 'Funny how this video pops up when Ryanair are facing constant backlash over the 10kg bag scam.' A third wrote: 'Met him, he's the nicest guy ever.' A fourth joked: 'Tiger Roll but no ham and cheese roll.'

Top betting offers for the 2025 Grand National
It's Grand National day and the 177th running of the world's most famous steeplechase is scheduled for 4.00pm. Thirty-four runners go to post, among them last year's winner I Am Maximus, who bids to become the first horse to win the race in successive years since Tiger Roll in 2018 and 2019. Tiger Roll prepared for both his Grand National wins with victories in the Cross-Country Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, a 3m 5½f test in which the field tackles hills, banks, fences and ditches. The race was won this year by Stumptown, the probable market leader when the big race gets under way. Check out more Grand National free bets ahead of today's showpiece event. Grand National top betting offers 1. bet365 – £30 in free bets when you place a £10 bet This is the perfect welcome offer, whether you are new to the world of betting or an old hand. Deposit and place a qualifying bet and bet365 will give you treble that amount in free bets. It's a flexible offer, so a minimum £5 qualifying bet will see you receive £15 in bet tokens, while a £10 first bet would give you £30 in free bets. What's more, the minimum odds for your qualifying bet are set very low at just 1/5 (1.2), so you have every chance of keeping your initial stake intact before you use your free bets on the Grand National or any other markets that interest you. 2. Tote – Get £20 in bonuses when you bet £5 The Tote will quadruple your investment in bonuses when you sign up in time for the Grand National. Bet £5 at minimum odds of 1/1 (2.0) on racing or sports markets and it will give you a bonus package worth £20. There's £10 on Tote Credit to use on its unique racing pools betting products, a £5 sports free bet and 50 free spins that you can use in the Tote's online casino. Overall, there's a range of bonuses that allows you to both bet on the National and try out other areas of the Tote site. 3. William Hill – Get £10 in free bets when you bet £10 For many people who are new to betting, a recognisable bookmaker with a long-established reputation is an appealing prospect. William Hill lives up to that billing, having been founded way back in 1934 and being a pioneer in the world of online betting. Prospective Grand National punters are likely to be tempted by its offer for the big Aintree race, in which you receive a £10 free bet when you bet £10 on any sports market at odds of 1/1 (2.0) or over. 4. BetMGM – Get a £10 free bet when you place a £10 bet Another big-name bookie who will double your Grand National betting funds is BetMGM. Sign up to the American betting giant and bet £10 at odds of 1/1 (2.0) or greater and it will earn you a £10 free bet in return. There are a couple of notable terms and conditions, but nothing to worry about. The free bet cannot be used on e-sports or non-UK/Ireland horse racing, while the minimum odds of the free bet are 2/1. Neither condition is a factor when using the BetMGM free bet on the Grand National. 5. 10Bet – Get 100% welcome bonus up to £50 If you're planning on making a number of big bets on the Grand National, then this 10Bet welcome offer could be the one for you. Sign up and enter the 10Bet bonus code SPORT. Make a first deposit and 10Bet will match it with a 100 per cent bonus payment up to a maximum figure of £50. What's more, 10Bet will give you your bonus funds as soon as the deposit has been paid, without any need to place a qualifying bet. This is perfect in terms of quickly getting hold of some Grand National free bets. Note that one drawback to this offer is that there are wagering requirements for the deposit and bonus of x8, with bets needing to at least have odds of 4/5 (1.8) to count towards this.

‘We wanted more diamonds': The making of this year's Grand National trophy
'When you're a child you dream about riding the winner of the Grand National; it's such an iconic race, as high as you can go in racing,' says the Irish racehorse trainer Willie Mullins. 'I remember the first time I won it; I was on cloud nine for the entire year.' Although he never scooped the sport's top prize in his career as a jockey, as a trainer he's won twice: in 2005 with Hedgehunter, ridden by Ruby Walsh, and last year with the nine-year-old gelding I Am Maximus, whose jockey Paul Townend is favourite to repeat the feat in today's race. If he succeeds, Townend will be the second jockey to win back-to-back Grand Nationals on the same horse since Brian Fletcher on Red Rum in 1974 (the other being Davy Russell on Tiger Roll in 2019). 'I Am Maximus can be a complicated character, but Paul gets on very well with him and is able to read him and keep him happy. That's essential in any marriage and that's basically what a horse and jockey are for the course of the race,' says Mullins, who has worked with Townend since the jockey joined his yard as a 15-year-old apprentice. The essential characteristic of a Grand National-winning jockey? 'You need a guy who's lucky, number one,' says Mullins. Implicit trust of the horse, the ability to adapt to whatever unfolds in the famously unpredictable race, and a cool head are the other non-negotiables. But then, as Mullins adds, 'Anyone who rides a horse over a 5ft fence at almost 40 miles per hour is a fairly cool customer.' Every year millions of people worldwide watch 34 horses hurtle around four miles and two-and-a-half furlongs in the world's most famous steeplechase. Notoriously dangerous, in recent years the Grand National's fences have been made smaller and more flexible, and the number of runners reduced in a bid to improve safety for the horses and their jockeys. Nevertheless, says Mullins, 'It's a race where everyone has a chance and anything can happen.' Whoever wins will scoop £500,000 for their horse's owner, along with the 40cm-high, 6kg sterling silver trophy, made by British jeweller Boodles. The house, which was founded in Liverpool in 1798, has a history of decorating Grand National winners: it first created a solid gold cup for the 1937 race, and supplied trophies for Aintree races throughout the 1950s and '60s. In the house's archive is a letter dated 18 March 1950 from Anthony Wainwright, then chairman of Boodles, to Mrs Mirabel Topham, owner of Aintree Racecourse, enclosing a photograph of that year's Grand National gold cup. 'I think you will agree it is a fine picture of a really beautiful article,' he writes, adding, 'The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths think very highly of this trophy… whoever wins it will be approached for its exhibition at the 1951 Festival of Britain.' That trophy was a traditional two-handled cup engraved with a scene from the race: far removed from this year's creation, commissioned by the Grand National's sponsor since 2017, Randox. The brief was to create something that entwines the world of horse racing with scientific elements to represent innovation, cutting-edge technology and human progress. 'It's no normal trophy, that's for sure,' says Anthony's son Michael Wainwright, who runs Boodles as executive chairman alongside his brother, Nicholas. A lifelong National Hunt fan, Michael is responsible for continuing the house's relationship with racing. Boodles has sponsored the Cheltenham Gold Cup since 2022, and made the Grand National trophies for the race's previous sponsors Martell, in the 1990s, and Crabbie's, from 2014 to 2016. The partnership with Randox arose from the Wainwrights' continuing relationship with the company's owner, Dr Peter FitzGerald. 'We know the FitzGeralds well; they like horse racing, we like horse racing, and so they called us up last May and asked if we'd like to do it,' says Michael. 'It's a heck of a weight – here, try it.' He hoists over this year's prize, which was handmade in a workshop in Kent. Crafted from 4.25kg of sterling silver with malachite, carnelian and a dusting of diamonds, it looks more like an futuristic sculpture than a sporting award. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Randox (@randoxofficial) Michael talks me through its various elements: a stylised horseshoe, a twisting DNA double helix crossed by 16 bars, a molecular structure of 16 gold-plated atoms, representing the 16 jumps of the course, and a rectangular biochip, a reference to Randox's testing technology. A malachite base nods to the green of the turf and Boodles' historic use of green onyx in its trophies. The outermost two discs inset into the biochip are here embellished with 0.78 carats of pavé-set diamonds. 'We wanted more diamonds, actually,' says Michael. 'Our first submission had a lot more. I'm glad we left a few in because it creates a note of interest. None of the other trophies have diamonds in; it's something we were able to bring to this design that nobody else would have. We don't actively pursue trophy-making as a business – we're jewellers – but to be able to demonstrate our design skills for an event as prestigious as the Grand National is really an honour,' he adds. The finished trophy was unveiled for the first time during the Weights Lunch, when the Grand National weights were revealed, at St George's Hall in Liverpool in February. The winning jockey will receive a smaller version, as will the winning horse's trainer and breeder; the horse's owner gets the original. Competition is fierce, but friendly. 'There's a great party atmosphere at Aintree; everybody's high on anticipation – and Champagne,' says Mullins. 'Being a Liverpool business, we have a lot of customers in that part of the world,' says Michael, whose love of the sport goes beyond his family company's official ties. Having fallen in love with racing as a child, when he'd accompany his father to Aintree, Bangor and Haydock Park, he's now a member of the Cheltenham Racecourse Committee and counts the sport's leading trainers and jockeys as friends. He co-owns several horses, one of which, Ga Law, won the Paddy Power Gold Cup in 2022. 'The one thing all companies that sponsor horse races have in common is a chief executive or an owner who likes horse racing,' he says. 'My co-directors, my brother and my nephews, aren't remotely interested in horse racing, but we do see the value in sponsoring the Gold Cup.' The house entertains hundreds of clients during Cheltenham. 'We also pick up new customers. It's worth a lot,' Michael adds. 'It's also a lot of fun. 'People go to Ascot to watch each other, but people go to National Hunt racing to watch the race,' he says. 'With flat racing it's all about money, whereas in jump racing you're not in it for money. You're in it for the fun.' And perhaps, this year, the diamonds.

Best Betting Sites and Free Cheltenham Bets For Gold Cup Day
The 2025 edition of the Cheltenham Festival comes to a close with Gold Cup day, the blue-riband event of jump-racing that headlines another bumper afternoon of racing on Friday. After three days of thrilling action, big odds winners and a fitting tribute to the late jockey Michael O'Sullivan the festival is set up perfectly for a spectacular conclusion. The Cheltenham Gold Cup is the festival's main event, and in 2025 it sees Galopin Des Champs going for a hattrick of wins having been victorious in 2023 and 2024. And there's plenty more action on the final day too, including the Triumph Hurdle and the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle. This might be the last day of Cheltenham 2025, but there are still plenty of offers available at the best betting sites, including welcome bonuses and free bets. And to help readers find the best options for them, we've compiled a guide to the best betting sites and free bet offers for the final day of the festival. We've also taken a look at the Cheltenham Gold Cup favourites and Triumph Hurdle betting on betting apps as part of our day four preview.

Key races on day four Triumph Hurdle 2025 History: This is one of the most prestigious races for novice hurdlers and often acts as a precursor for those intending to run in the Champion Hurdle the following year. Four horses have gone on to complete the double, while two-time Grand National winner Tiger Roll won this race in 2014. Triumph Hurdle betting: No trainer has won this race more than Nicky Henderson (7) and his best hope could be Lulamba, who won well on his British debut at Ascot and enters the race at 2/1. East India Dock romped to victory in the Triumph Hurdle Trial at Cheltenham last November and won last time out at the JCB Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle in late January. That makes for a serious contender and he's the marginal favourite on horse racing betting sites. Perhaps interestingly, the last four winners of the Triumph Hurdle have all run in the Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown, though neither East India Dock nor Lulamba did this year. If you prefer to bet in accordance with recent history, then Hello Neighbour could offer value at 11/2, having won the Spring Juvenile Hurdle in early February. County Hurdle 2025 History: This race has a history of being one of the hardest to predict of the entire Festival, with seven of the last 10 winners going off at double-digit prices. It's run over the same distance as the Champion Hurdle and former County Hurdle winner State Man completed the double last year with victory in the Grade 1 showpiece. County Hurdle betting: Willie Mullins has won five of the past 10 County Hurdles and could be mob-handed for the 2025 edition, including running last year's winner Absurde (11/2). McLaurey, trained by former jockey Emmet Mullins, is also offered at 15/2. Dan Skelton has a strong record in this race too and his best hope could be Valgrand. He's priced at 8/1 in the County Hurdle odds, along with Ethical Diamond. Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle 2025 History: This race has become a stepping stone on the path to stardom for several horses, producing Gold Cup and Stayers' Hurdle winners aplenty since being added to the Cheltenham card. Bobs Worth and Minello Indo both won this race before going on to Gold Cup success. The favourite hasn't won this race since Fishers Cross in 2013 and the last four winners have all gone off at odds of 14/1 or bigger. Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle odds: In terms of Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle tips, The Big Westerner has the unwanted tag of pre-race favourite at 9/2, but having won on his last three runs over hurdles. Jet Blue and Jasmin De Vaux are both priced at 8/1 with Wingmen at 9/1 the last of the single-digit contenders. Cheltenham Gold Cup Odds 2025 History: This is the most prestigious race of the entire Festival, with competitors battling it out for a share of the £625,000 prize fund over a gruelling three miles and two and a half furlongs, and 22 fences. Experience and class tend to be the keys to success here, with most Gold Cup winners having a Grade 1 win and a Festival victory to their name. Irish horses also tend to do well with nine of the last 10 Gold Cups heading back to Ireland. Cheltenham Gold Cup betting: Galopin Des Champs is the heavy Cheltenham Gold Cup favourite having won the last two editions, and is bidding to emulate Best Mate by winning three in a row. He's looked solid in his outings this season and has already seen off one of his main rivals, Face To File. In terms of Cheltenham Gold Cup odds, he's a best-price of 8/15. Face To File was switched to Thursday's Ryanair Chase so King George VI Chase winner Banbridge (9/2) should be Galopin Des Champs's biggest threat, although he doesn't have a great record at Cheltenham and could be found out over this distance. Monty's Star also deserves respect despite being an outsider at 14/1, having only lost to Spillane's Tower and Fact to File in Grade One races last season. Free bets for Cheltenham day 4 Rank Bookmaker Offer 1 BetGoodwin Money back special up to £100. BetGoodwin offers users their money back as free bets if your horses loses by a nose, is beaten by a 50/1 shout or by half-a-length in a chase, or if your horse falls at the last while leading. 2 QuinnBet Punters can get their money back as a free bet up to a maximum of £10 if their selection finishes second to the favourite. This offer is available on every race at Cheltenham, as long as it features a minimum of six runners and the favourite goes odds at odds of 6/4 or greater. 3 LiveScore Bet Get your money back as a free bet on selected races each day of the Cheltenham Festival. Just place a maximum £10 bet on the selected race within 48 hours of the start time. If your horse finished second, third or fourth, you'll get your stake back as a free bet. Only the first bet on the race will be eligible for the money back offer. 4 Parimatch New Parimatch customers can get £30 in free bets with the bookmaker's horse racing welcome offer.
