RTB – GW was just my second winner of the week………..what is even worse is that I have currently racked up 15 individually placed horses.
If ever a horse deserved a nice paddock and a comfy stable it was , his lass was distraught , long way home when that happens

Thankyou every one for the kind words. I will have to read it back properly later on.
Nice to see you back Ben and good for you pal, doing so well for yourself
Gutted for Envoi Allen.
Delighted for Gaelic WarriorGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
I’ll take that HDLG at least you didn’t call me Irish.
The more I know the less I understand.
An amazing performance by GW. Took it with ease.
Heartbreaking to learn shortly after about Envoi Allen poor boy rip xxxVF x
Is Gaelic Warrior the first juvenile hurdler to win the Gold Cup? Commanche Court went close, but can’t recall any others.
Just shows what a spectacular talent he isAlso forgot to say well done to Ex Ruby Light, I know you were on the beast for a long time ago. Pre/post Durkan?
Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
“Is Gaelic Warrior the first juvenile hurdler to win the Gold Cup? Commanche Court went close, but can’t recall any others.”
According to wiki, Golden Miller ran in a hurdle at Southwell as a 3yo. The glamour
A Plus Tard ran over hurdles in France as a juvenile and won a listed handicap there.
Don’t know if The Fellow ran over hurdles before his chasing career or not. He won an AQPS flat race to start with and ran in the Grand Steep at 5, but I don’t know if he had any runs over hurdles at 3/4 in between. I think quite a lot of French horses went straight ove fences (in the years before they ran them over hurdles to sell them to Mullins).
I see Galopin des Champs had one run over hurdles in spring as a 4 year old, but that was in May, same as Long Run.
No problem Nathan. Following you is following the money and I was on him at 14/1 which was pre John Durkan.
I think The Jukebox Man and, in particular, Jango Baie would have benefitted from a run in between the KG and GC but I doubt either would have beaten Gaelic Warrior in that form
I hope they don’t take the winner to Aintree because it will have been a hard race despite the winning distance
