Sweet William w/o 2 favs – 4/1
June 18, 2026 at 16:24 #1769497wd winners
June 18, 2026 at 16:29 #1769498Get In, Needed that today.
I was just praying Havlin would ride for a place instead of attempting to win like last year.
June 18, 2026 at 16:33 #1769499Well done Darren. To call him at 16/1 a year ago is a great feat.
But even more, the fact that Aidan has had his 100th Royal winner and just keeps pouring it on. Ryan again brilliant in a G1 and despite the narrow wins from Scandinavia, this horse only does what it needs to.June 18, 2026 at 16:36 #1769500What a fantastic race, best of the meeting.
Well done Scandinavia backers and GM with Sweet William what a great price for him 11/1.
Obviously disappointed that Trawlerman didn’t win but he tried his best and that’s all you can ask..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...June 18, 2026 at 16:41 #1769501A storming race between the Scandinavia and Trawlerman. Sweet William, a very decent horse, not quite as good as the first two but really stuck his head down to come clear of the rest.
June 18, 2026 at 16:49 #1769504Moore lifted him home.
June 18, 2026 at 16:51 #1769506Does anyone know why Trawlerman has been so ill?
June 18, 2026 at 16:52 #1769507Yes a blinder there Darren

The more I know the less I understand.
June 18, 2026 at 17:16 #1769512Thanks guys really appreciate it and 1st winner of the week.
Been a fan of horse since that Newmarket win
June 18, 2026 at 17:34 #1769516An epic battle , Trawlerman has ran a monster first time out , it’s a shame with all the Obrien/Gosden nonsense , both should very proud of 2 horses that gave everything
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
June 18, 2026 at 18:07 #1769525Great race
Trawlerman lost nothing in defeat, first time out and I think Scandinavia didn’t get the perfect follow through as Moore lost his place early enoughGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
June 18, 2026 at 18:25 #1769533“Does anyone know why Trawlerman has been so ill?”
Trawlerman was in an intensive care unit during Easter. A rare condition that causes extreme sensitivity to sunlight that put the horse in significant pain. This affected his preparation for the race.
June 19, 2026 at 12:47 #1769649What a fantastic race that was. The stayers, out of fashion as they are, can offer up races that are more absorbing and exciting than most at shorter trips.
June 19, 2026 at 12:49 #1769654Great shout Darren btw – It’s a great feeling when you get one right so far out (so they tell me anyway lol)
