US EditionGalopin Des Champs searches for greatness in Gold Cup
- Willie Mullins is trying to keep Galopin Des Champs grounded as the horse aims for a Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup hat-trick at Prestbury Park.
- Galopin Des Champs, who won a second Savills Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas and a third Irish Gold Cup at the Foxrock track last month, may become only the fifth horse to win three Gold Cups, a feat recently achieved when Al Boum Photo broke a curse in 2019, successfully defended his title, and then finished third in his treble attempt.
- Bookmakers consider nine-year-old Banbridge, a multiple Grade One winner, the most likely to spoil Galopin Des Champs' hat-trick bid, while Gavin Cromwell's Inothewayurthinkin, who showed up well behind Galopin Des Champs in the Irish Gold Cup and cost £28,000 to supplement, is also a contender.
- Mullins acknowledges the honor of working with a well-known horse, with his son Patrick calling Galopin Des Champs the masterpiece of Willie's career, and while Mullins isn't dreaming of victory, others find it unbelievable they have a horse going for a third Gold Cup, potentially placing him in the Best Mate/Arkle category.
- Joseph O'Brien prepares Banbridge to take on Galopin Des Champs, noting the eight-year-old's season had a difficult start, and despite this, the goal is to have him peak in Cheltenham, hoping for a placing, but acknowledging Galopin Des Champs' strength, while Henry de Bromhead's Monty's Star, carrying the colours of previous Gold Cup winner Minella Indo, also aims for victory.
