  • Lobos I wasn’t saying he doesn’t go right, he does. I was saying the specific comments you were relaying; the edging right, the camera angle etc. were made about Champ Kiely.

      I know. I just felt , for the benefit of anyone wanting to back him for a 3rd time at the festival, I should highlight those comments from PT as once again it emphasizes Gaelic Warriors dislike of going LH and the problems both he and Patrick have when he runs that way and the disadvantage the horse has trying to go that way round.

      I'll not say another word on the matter I promise

        That's why I think a novice chase campaign beckons, or will at least be tried. Fences might straiten him up a bit. Mind you, he wasn't bad at Cheltenham. No disgrace finishing second to that aeroplane.

        • Willie mentioning Gaelic could stay hurdling - pretty weak division! Still 8s available

          • Patrick said after Gaelic Warrior's 2nd in the Ballymore he needs 3m and a fence
            Rich Ricci after win yesterday said he's a chasing sort and is progressing with the trip
            Willie mentioned Stayers Hurdle afte rhis win yesterday
            He interesting which way they go, personally I think he'll go over fences but we'll find out in the Autumn I guess

            • Wonder if Monkfish could stay over hurdles instead then! Agree, until yesterday I was under impression Gaelic would go chasing

              • The main thing that worries me now thinking about it is his age. Six next year means that he could do a stayers hurdle campaign and still have time to then divert to fences (BANC) at 7, gold cup (if good enough) at 8. Hopefully not and straight to BANC at 6, or at least start over fences and see how he does, noting that the ly could divert back to hurdles if needed…

                  Stayers looks more likely. Willie will get his way.

                    Does Ricci have any other chasers to look forward to that would help that decision? Nothing springs to mind

                            Looks a 2 miler though, polar opposite to GW but I guess it'll be a talking point over the summer months wherever he will go

                            • I think it's time we put Gaelic Warrior in perspective.

                              He's a Melon.
