Yep got a few with Gordon now haven’t they and probably not long before they land on a real good one. He’s not just a fantastic trainer he’s a fantastic entrepreneur too, an absolute master at bringing new owners with money to spend into the yard, and makes sure he gets the horses placed in the right races too so they get a taste of success & keep spending - just look at down royal this season, 2 winners on the Saturday for relatively new owner in the yard Andrew brown (as well as 3 for probably his biggest current supporter noel Moran).
willie probably the best overall trainer in the game but if I was lucky enough to be able to afford a few good yokes there’s not a doubt in my mind I would put them in training with Gordon.
He'll need to deliver in the bigger races though - the amount of money pouring into that yard is colossal. He's topping every P2P sale going and regularly going home with the 1/2/3 most expensive lots. And yet, Willie and Henry wipe the floor with him when it comes to to open company G1 events.
He's an insanely good long range target trainer and plots them up over hurdles and fences as good, if not better, than anyone (which will be incredibly attractive to owners), but there are still question marks at the top, top table for me that he'll need to overcome with the continued spending. I'm probably being overly critical here, but that level of spending comes with big expectations.
I'd level similar comments at Olly Murphy's over here, albeit that they need to deliver in graded/big handicaps in general, which is not something I can criticise Gord for! Their spending, particularly in the store sales, has not delivered anything like what it should have done and yet the money keeps pouring in!
My Drogo has been boosted to evens with Boylesports. Seemingly no limit on how much you can stake. Surely the play is to back My Drogo with Boyles, match your stake on GOL with another bookie where she's touching 5/2 and hope like hell GOL wins?

It does say on the main screen max stake 10 on the header so just be-careful that they don’t void it and you get stung
