Here, two powerful and agile colts take to the skies in an audacious attempt to salvage the jump season's most prestigious event - The Gold Cup. As rain threatened to dampen the spirits of both jockeys and spectators alike, course stewards resorted to an unconventional solution. Enter these magnificent colt helicopters, soaring above the famous Cotswold circuit with a mission to dry out any soggier patches that could impair the thrilling jumps.

This photograph captures a moment frozen in time when tradition merged with modernity. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unwavering commitment towards ensuring that nothing stands in the way of delivering an unforgettable sporting spectacle.
