Galopin Des Champs Wins Irish Gold Cup

Galopin Des Champs, trained by Willie Mullins, won the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown on Saturday, beating its rival Fastorslow by four and a half lengths. Despite having been defeated twice before by Fastorslow, Galopin Des Champs was the favourite and lived up to expectations. Mullins anticipates another exciting race between the two horses in the future. This victory has made Galopin Des Champs the odds-on favourite for the upcoming Cheltenham Gold Cup. The Dublin Racing Festival, which hosts several Grade One races, was televised by ITV.
