Irish Grade 1

Nice to see Fastorslow win.

Good result for Irish racing.

saw in the spring that cheltenham knocked spots off him

Great race, winner looks a decent horse.

Keep saying it the Mullins horses aren't near fit(yes even in a G1) The ones that win are doing so in spite of this. They were surprised State Man won so well yesterday. Different scenario from Christmas onwards.

GDC looked a little rusty and was probably not 100% fit. The trip is too short for him these days too. Still looks the most likely GC winner.

2024 specials board...

GDC to go off BSP gold cup fav 4/6

Will have one more run before the GC and will bolt up. If you don't mind having your money tied up, that 4/6 looks like finding money in the street.

4/6 to get to Cheltenham

nothing in his last 2 runs to justify being fav
and correct has to get there also

Four odds on favs beaten at Punchestown including a 1/8 shot. Hardly a murmur raised, I guess we are all getting used it...

Pleased for JJ Slevin. Apart from the odd decent horse, he trudges round the circuit riding no hopers.

Have met him a couple of times at Irish meets. Lovely guy who always gives you the time of day.

Hope you get a watch off someone as a Christmas pressie

Top bantz, as I think they say nowadays.

MJK is right. If the Mullins horses are still getting beaten come the DRF, then it's time to raise an eyebrow.

"I'm just disappointed," he said. "He didn't seem to jump early on and the writing was on the wall from there. There was no spark and Paul said he was very dead in himself".
