Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026

[davidbrady]

So 2 weeks in the sun over and it already feels like I’ve never been away!

A very low-scoring fortnight in my absence with only 4 people scoring positively over the 4 races. Top of the pile goes to Nathan Hughes with 8.00pts thanks to Nahoodh (each-way) in the Falmouth. davidbrady scored 3.00pts thanks to Marchand D’or while nefertiti and bambi both scored 1.00pt courtesy of selecting Mount Nelson in the Eclipse.

There are still 29 races left in the competition overall so still plenty of time for people to make up ground. 2 races this weekend, the big one being the King George & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday followed by the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday

[quadrilla]

Thank you David for marking the recent results so timeously. And to all the Competitors for making your job so easy, by keeping their scores to a minimum.

Backing two runners is the relentless pursuit of value. Backing each way is a shortcut to the poor house. Only 7% make a long term profit.

[davidbrady]

2 more races down and, surprise surprise, 2 wins for AP O’Brien and Ballydoyle thanks to Duke of Marmalade (4/6) and Mastercraftsman (4/1).

Top of the pile this weekend goes to paulostermeyer who selected both winners for a total score of 9.33pts. 2nd place went to the consistent quadrilla with 6.00pts who also selected Mastercraftsman in the Phoenix Stakes but Ask let him down in the King George. Gaz’s Way De Solzen and nefertiti were the only other entrants to score positively on the weekedn thanks to Duke of Marmalade and their decision to bypass the Phoenix Stakes.

[Gazs Way De Solzen]

Thanks again David.

[davidbrady]

Not a lot to say after last week’s York @ Newmarket other than it’s depressing when a single bet on the Unnamed Favourite would have produced a bigger profit than picking your own horse!

Well done to mickeddy who was the only entrant to end up in profit thanks to Duke of Marmalade and sitting the first day out! Well done also to nefertiti who actually scored more with Phoenix Tower each-way (1.40pts) than a 2pt win on Duke of Marmalade would have produced (1.33pts)

NB – edited to correct quadrilla’s score.

[Nathan Hughes]

Thanks David for the results.

Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026

[mickeddy]

Thanks David,
It’s finding the time to look at the races I find the hardest thing to do, still nice to get one every now and then.
Mike.

[quadrilla]

Just a couple of quick questions David.

Were there 3 races in the last round ?

How did -2.67 points add up ?

Juddmore.Lush Lashes 2 points win. 1st at Evens
Coolmore. Dandy Man 2 points win. Unplaced.
Darley Yorkshire. Duke of Marmalade win. First at 7/10.

cheers

Whoops – sorry about that quadrilla – I was trying to give the rest of us a chance

Glad I’m still in profit but Quadrilla may be too far ahead for even a ‘Border Castle’ type effort to catch. Looks like a top five finish needs to be the aim.

Struggling to find a sponsor for this competition but I’ll sort out some TRF prizes in next week or so.

[davidbrady]

Another Gr1 over and another win for Coolmore but not Ballydoyle as David Wachman trained the winner instead!

Well done to those who selected the winner
