Punchestown is Fastorslow’s domain. Martin Brassil’s stable star posted what was arguably the best performance of his career in confirming last year’s form with Galopin Des Champs in Wednesday’s Grade One Ladbrokes Punchestown Gold Cup.
It was a fascinating race to watch, with Conflated setting off in front and the eventual winner, given a fine ride by JJ Slevin, racing a little keenly through the early stages and, consequently, going by Galopin Des Champs into second place.
