I wonder what Festival race comes even close to producing that many winners, if you look back at the past 30+ years.March 16, 2025 at 23:31 #1724262The winner, A Dream To Share, subsequently won the Grade 1 bumper at Punchestown.
He was fourth in a maiden at The Curragh today.
March 16, 2025 at 23:39 #1724263Thanks, CAS. Forgot completely about him.
March 17, 2025 at 10:18 #1724267Obviously for the top end the Altior,Min, Bauvear D’air supreme. Decent horses in behind too like supasundae and petit mouchour.

Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
March 17, 2025 at 13:16 #1724277The horse in seventh place was a world beater.
March 17, 2025 at 13:56 #1724280Exactly CAS
The above race produced a TRF Poster of the year winner…

March 17, 2025 at 14:37 #1724283I’ll always remember War of Attrition and Brave Inca fighting out the finish of the Supreme.
March 17, 2025 at 15:21 #1724284I suspect most years’ senior novice hurdles contained plenty of future stars.
Possibly not the Triumph so much with its greater focus on precocious types from off the Flat. 2007 is worth a mention though for producing two Champion Hurdle winners.

March 17, 2025 at 17:47 #1724294I reckon it was a decent bumper this year , really liked the look of the Nicholls horse , looked a proper chasing type
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
March 17, 2025 at 17:50 #1724295💯 HDLG
Nicholls describe him as big and backwards before he ran the race before this one.
Lovely looking horse 🐎Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
March 17, 2025 at 17:52 #1724296Nicholls could do with some good horses. At the last two Cheltenham festivals he has had 1 winner at each – in handicaps.
He did have two winners on the Tuesday. At Sedgefield.
Megan needs to get the chequebook out and start buying some quality.
March 17, 2025 at 18:55 #1724302A Dream to Share has had strangest career . That run today looks very good over a mile , less than 2 lengths behind Ballydoyle favourite who has bit of form albeit at low level .
Have they given up on jumps with him . - AuthorPosts
