Stable Tour Quotes

Willie Mullins (11 February 2026): "He had a hard race in the King George and again at Leopardstown in the Irish Gold Cup. I thought the way that he ran in Leopardstown was an ideal run for a Ryanair Chase. He is a horse that has a very good record at Cheltenham."

Willie Mullins (08 October 2025): "I’ve always thought that he had no trouble staying. He jumps to his right, but it doesn’t stop him winning left-handed. He’ll start off in the John Durkan and then his target in the King George. We’ll see after that, but looking at his age and profile, I feel he could be a coming force in the Gold Cup."

Willie Mullins (06 February 2025): "I was just disappointed with Gaelic Warrior on Sunday. I thought he looked to be going so average at about the fifth-last fence and it looked to everyone like Paul might pull him up. Paul actually said the same to me that he was going to pull him up and then he just seemed to get his second wind and stayed on well, so the Ryanair comes into the equation now after that. It might just have been a bit too fast going down the back side for him on Sunday, but I’m just wondering has he some other issue. I’ve a few things I want to look into and I want to check him before I say any more. He could wait for Aintree or Punchestown, but we'll see."

Willie Mullins (23 January 2025): "Gaelic Warrior will be our main hope in the Dublin Chase. Jonbon will be a very hard nut to crack looking at him on Saturday, but maybe Cheltenham isn't Jonbon's favourite track and we are hoping it might edge our way. I know Gaelic Warrior might be a little better right-handed, but I wouldn't let that worry me too much. You try to straighten a horse up as best you can and hope that ability gets through. Some people go mad thinking about left-handed and right-handed."

Willie Mullins (28 November 2024): "He missed a little bit of time, but he’s back on the go now. He will go for the Grade 1 over two miles at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting and then go to the Dublin Racing Festival. The Clarence House would be an option, but just an option. The Champion Chase is his long-term target."

Willie Mullins (17 April 2024): "He just lost the plot a bit at Leopardstown. There was a lot of music there that day and I don’t think he wanted to face the music! We put the hood on him as well as dropping him in trip at Cheltenham, which is sort of contradictory, but it seemed to work well. He was a much easier ride and put up a professional and impressive performance. He has the Celebration Chase at Sandown as an option, but if El Fabiolo goes there, I’d say Gaelic Warrior will probably stay home for the Barberstown Castle Novice Chase. We wouldn’t usually put a novice into open company like that, but we’ll keep our options open."

Willie Mullins (25 October 2023): "He’s going to go novice chasing. If it doesn’t go right for him, he could always go back over hurdles and aim for the Stayers’ Hurdle, but we’ll set out to make him a staying novice chaser. He looks to be one of our best this season and is a Brown Advisory type."

Willie Mullins (14 February 2023): "He was very impressive at Leopardstown. I was delighted to see him win a handicap like that. It was a great trial for maybe going for the Ballymore. He could go for the Supreme, but if I had to make a decision now, the Ballymore is where I’d be going. But we’ll see what happens in the meantime."

Willie Mullins (27 October 2022): "He’s in good shape and looks like he can be a real top-notch novice hurdler this season. He got good experience over hurdles last season and that will stand to him this season. Looking at him, you’d say two-and-a-half miles would be fine for him, but I think he’s sharp enough for two miles. Looking at the size of him now, he’s definitely grown over the summer, I’ll be waiting for a good cut in the ground before I start him back."

Willie Mullins (24 February 2022): "He’s a really interesting horse. His form in France is good and he has done some very good work since joining us. When we saw his handicap mark, we decided to aim him straight for the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle. He has jumped plenty of Irish-style hurdles here and we are very pleased with him."
