”GM Gold cups break horses , just look at the stats”
It doesn’t break the true champions like Best Mate, Kauto and Galopin.
Willie just needs to give Gaelic a slightly easier campaign before the Gold Cup next season and he’ll back it up. One less run beforehand should be enough.
He was a bit too sore on Galopin imo with the 5 tough Grade 1s every season. He shortened his career with that campaigning imo but the horse delivered and won an absolute fortune. He won’t be winning G1s at almost 12yr old like Kauto due to that though.
