So why did he get tapped for speed at Punchestown Mike ?
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
GDC has gone from being a horse that is too quick for a Gold Cup to one that isn’t fast enough for any trip shorter
Mullins look to be needing a run this year unless you are a machine like Gaelic Warrior of courseGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Nathan doesn’t have a mirror above his bed , he has a poster of Gaelic warrior …. , GDC was maybe fast once , he ain’t now

“So why did he get tapped for speed at Punchestown Mike ?”
Punchestown can produce funny results. Al Boum Photo got beat there.
Stage Star has the beating of Fastorslow through Appreciate It but instead they would rather go up against Allaho.
If say Fastorslows last 2 runs easily beat angry my Stage Star has done , Stage will be in the Ryanair anyway

“Mike he’s been done twice now.”
Yeh i know. I can count lol. I’ve said already Fastorflow is in the Cheltenham mix. That race won’t be a 2 miles 3 sprint, let’s see what GDC does next time.
“Punchestown can produce funny results. Al Boum Photo got beat there.”
True. ABP won on seasonal reappearance in his second open season…but that was toddling around Tramore in January beating a 10yo Acapella Bourgeois. If ABP had run in the 2019 John Durkan, would he have beaten Min? Or even the race-fit Hardline who was second? Probably not.
Great finish and Fastorslow is the real deal. Nice to see the Martin Brassil horse beat the entire Mullins battalion.
Fastorslow is a strong finisher as seen here and in the Punchestown Gold Cup, going to be a horse who doesn’t get the appreciation he deserves as it will be cited GDC did not perform to his best.
The more I know the less I understand.
GDC seems to have lost his fluency at jumping. It was ordinary enough at Cheltenham and Punchestown last year also, tho in his first novice season he seemed like a natural. Maybe teaching him to settle has cost that fluency.
Never mind the 20/1 I have about him for the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the wonderful Fastorslow started 14 on the machine in this.
