Police say the Cheltenham Gold Cup, one of the most famous trophies in English horse racing, has been stolen. Police say the trophy was taken early Wednesday from a house in Wormington in Gloucestershire county in southwest England. The Gold Cup race, regarded as a highlight of the English jump racing season, is run at the Cheltenham Festival each March. Police say it was one of a number of trophies stolen, with a combined value estimated at more than 150,000 pounds ($228,000). The Cheltenham Gold Cup, first run in 1924, was won this year by Imperial Commander, ridden by Paddy Brennan.
