I hope they have now learnt to make more use of the horses stamina.

Cracking race.

Wonder how good our Grand National winner is?
Also, how he may have done in the Gold Cup? |
|
By:
Took an extra step at a couple fences and looked all out shortly before they turned in.
Then tapped for toe… Hilarious they both got beat. |

Been ridden the same last 3 times, would love to see it ridden from the front or near the front.

some must have backed the winner 66/1 this morning.

Galopin is never quite as fluent as Bravemansgame but makes up for it with raw ability.
|

By:
I agree - a great race. Didn;t feel Gal was going too well at times and he made a couple of mistakes and sorted himself twice when in too close but no excuses really. 20+L turnaround in form with the winner from the 2m4 race in Feb!. BMG ran a cracker!

an average gold cup winner - some of the comments on here after the cheltenham race you'd think we'd just seen Arkle

I have to agree. I love the horse having picked him out as a 5yo and followed him but he is anything but brilliant. Very good yes but no Kauto Star.

By:
He does not make as good a shape over a fence as most top class chasers do. It could be due to his shape but if he became a more fluent jumper he would be awesome. BMG by contrast is mostly a lovely economical jumper but he made a mistake at the last and then failed to quicken again. Both suggest that 3 miles is the limit of his peak ability and having to make the running may reduce that to 2 miles 6 furlongs.

At 8/11 he represents tremendous value (8/11) winner, if he shows up on wednesday. I think he'll walk all-over this lot; he's a much improved horse.

His form going right handed is a stone below going left handed.

I'm a big fan of the horse and hope he wins, but i will not be backing him.
Fastorslow has beaten him twice around Punchestown including this race last year. |
|
By:
Last year he'd had a tough race at Cheltenham against Bravemansgame. This year he virtually sauntered home, and is much improved; 4/5 here a good bet more. I'm hoping a bookie goes 6/4 (super boost) - here's hoping.

Cobblers. like hell he had a hard race in last years Gold Cup….he won 7 lengths going away!
|
|
By:
Ahem.
|

By:
Fastorslow much more suited to Punchestown than Galop De Champs is, the last 3 runs here are testament to this.
|
|
By:
I hope we see Fastorslow in the King George. The only LH race I would consider for him would be one more go at the Gold Cup but otherwise there are so many good options going RH

poor jumping today cost it.

By:
You don't win a Gold Cup without having a hard race as he's now proved two years running
|
|
By:
It is not just the race at Cheltenham that could have affected any horse that made the trip
Travel strange stable different water. Some horses cope better than others. Not that I wish to detract from Fastorslow who seems to have his measure over 3 miles. |

A better price for GDS for Cheltenham 2025.
