NIKKI, The Trainer Thomas Gibney in his interview after the race said..... "sure look-it, Stevie Wonder wouldn't have seen that one coming" (at 11min30sec)..... HA HA HA !!! @JerryHannon #JerryHannon

[@nikkiisrael2708]

LOL, yes, I heard him say that. How funny! 😎🤣

[@xaar81]

Great excitement alright, don't mind the moaners on here haven't a clue

[@JackBurton-w7x]

Did the job well for a six year old. JJ gave him a great ride and he kept finding. Brilliantly done for a small yard and congrats to the team.

[@Ariapeithes_]

Amazing how Thomas Gibney took the lead at the end, Grey horse really picked up speed, and that stride was absolutely beautiful.

[@martinhill9261]

What a beautiful horse and ride.He kept him calm all the way round and jumped unbelievably (apart from 4 out) but still had enough to recover and find plenty at the end.

[@theking-kh2wc]

What a great race from the veteran any second now

[@Scottakastrap]

Had a go ew on frontal assult ew, ran a blinder to keep 4th place after having the 6 year old breathing down his neck a long way out, the winner stumbled aswell and still won like that, the jockey JJ was excellent and that was a great training performance shrewd yard 🏆🎉

Jerrys hannons voice trailing in last .

[@mervyncharter]

Looks like the Owners have found a replacement for Bristol De Mai, front running stamina laden grey horse. You could see him running a big race in the Betfair Chase usually run in heavy ground in November. He`s run seven times at Auteuil so maybe 1st they have a crack at the Grand Steeple Chase de Paris in mid May. Would be nice to think he could develop into a Gold Cup Horse next March

[@KypriosKing]

gold cup 😂😂😂😂 he beat 2 or 3 good to decent horses that carried more, literally this horse is a grade 3 yoke or even a good handicap horse at best this race was ran by horses who cannot win a race in graded company this will be it's crowning achievement.

[@mervyncharter]

@@KypriosKing He`s only a 6 yr old. Horses often improve and develop with age. They don`t all start as superstars. Those that do often flame out. Remember Yorkhill and Samcro.?? Native River, Al Boum Photo, Sizing John, Minella Endo & A Plus Tard as novices weren`t viewed as Gold Cup Horses. In fact Sizing John and A Plus Tard were seen as more 2 milers.

[@Zarkava8]

​@@KypriosKing Take up knitting.

[@KypriosKing]

6 is peak age he has 3 or 4 more good years there's 4-5yos with multiple grade 1 winners here in ireland that cannot enter this race... again its a grade 3 handicap now, its not like before. yeah sure i mean there's 1000s of horses who have and have not exceeded ...it's "rare" you'll ever see a grey go on to become a great, remember i said rare not impossible. He might win a grade 1 handicap or the uk national which is fine but that's about it you can tell when a horse is a great and he doesn't strike me. we'll see in a year or 2. @@mervyncharter

[@KypriosKing]

€270,000 grand national 10k for 4th wouldn't pay the jockey and day out fees 😂tragic event... wouldn't expect more from boylesports and fairyhouse bet they had nice comfy checks for the executives and track owners and bookies... we've accepted cheap mediocrity in our horse rich country people are even happy about it...people looking in from the outside must think is this the best they have on their Grand National day. Poor stuff

[@globaloffice3214]

Cheques not checks

[@karencorcoran2198]

I did a bet on Nick rockette I lost 😢

[@KypriosKing]

before you bet on a handicap race always check the weight the jockey has to carry. if it's top weight 11-10 to 11-13 over 2m6f then i would not back that horse unless it's proven it can go the distance with that weight on that going and can beat other horses carrying less weight.

[@karencorcoran2198]

@@KypriosKing awwww I get ya I thought Nick rockette was favoured to win I put a bet on him I lost
