Rico did really well and did a lot of good things in the ring. However I feel Usyk perhaps underestimated him but eventually got into his flow and put together the shots he needed.

[John Deleon @JohnDeleon55]

Thoughts on Usyk vs Rico.

A fantastic spectacle. However I felt the Dazn broadcast was incredibly biased because they were shocked Rico was competitive they just started scoring every round to him when that wasn’t the case.
Usyk looked much slower and stiffer than normal.

[John Deleon @JohnDeleon55]

I wouldn’t have stopped the fight when the ref did but Usyk was landing several unanswered shots. We have no idea what would’ve happened in the 12th round but it certainly seemed that Usyk was in the ascendancy and imo probably would’ve dropped Rico again in the 12th.

Absolutely fantastic to see Bob Olinger bow out on top. What a run at 11 years of age and what a horse he has been. Quirky but riddled with ability. Wishing him a long and happy retirement.

Absolutely incredible performance from Gaelic Warrior. He’s had a long season and to do that at the end is very impressive. He’s got such a big engine. Ground maybe too quick for Fact to File or maybe the tough race at DRF and then not running at Cheltenham but he was no match.

Cheltenham hero Gaelic Warrior is majestic in the @Ladbrokes Punchestown Gold Cup! @punchestownrace

Wishing a very long and very happy retirement to the great Energumene. So many great days. Some tremendous battles and some jaw dropping performances from him over the years. At his peak he was so classy and had such a high cruising speed. One of my all time favorites 💙💙

[John Deleon @JohnDeleon55]

Incredible achievement from I Am Maximus and he’s won an Irish Grand National aswell. He was really good today and he’s finished like a train and won going away. Great race and great performance.

I Am Maximus becomes the first horse since Red Rum to regain the Randox Grand National

Best of luck to everyone and hopefully it’s a fantastic spectacle and a great race.

[John Deleon @JohnDeleon55]

Didn’t back anything but O’Moore Park and Gentleman De Mee were extremely inconvenienced by the dodgy start. O Moore Park was out the back and stuck very wide throughout the race but he stayed on very well to be 7th and Gentleman De Mee ended up running a belter to be 4th.

Will The Wise lands the Topham 👏

So Happy for Energumene. One of my favorite ever racehorses and it’s absolutely fantastic to see him winning a decent race at the age of 12. Should’ve been stepped up in triple sooner this season. However is all very bittersweet with the news about Saint Sam.

[Racing TV @RacingTV]

Energumene, 12 years young, is back on top in the Grade 2 Underwriting Exchange @Fairyhouse Chase 👏

A bittersweet success for the Willie Mullins yard, and our thoughts with the connections of Saint Sam

[John Deleon @JohnDeleon55]

Truly an incredible performance. Probably worthy of one of the best ratings ever imo.

What a way to finish off the festival. Air of entitlement backs up lasts years win and wins at 11/1 🔥. Another winner for Henry.

[Racing TV @RacingTV]

Air Of Entitlement makes it successive victories at the Cheltenham Festival with victory in the Martin Pipe 👇🏻

[John Deleon @JohnDeleon55]

Gaelic Warrior is a good thing in the Gold Cup. Fact to File will go Ryanair and now he has Townend in the saddle. I think in a strongly run race at Cheltenham he will be too classy for his rivals and I think he will relish every bit of the trip and the new course. On at 5/1

[John Deleon @JohnDeleon55]

Envoi Allen such sad news. A legend of game and such a pity in his last race. Ran his heart out ❤️.

[John Deleon @JohnDeleon55]

Yesssssssss. Cmon the Warrior 🎉🎉🎉. Absolutely incredible performance. Always had so much confidence that he would relish that stamina test and he’s a special race horse. Was on at 5/1. Gaelic Warrior bolts up.

[Racing TV @RacingTV]

Wow!

Gaelic Warrior, all class in the @Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup! 👏

[John Deleon @JohnDeleon55]

@Eleventoel27363 Yea Dinoblue was fantastic, nothing was gonna beat her today

[John Deleon @JohnDeleon55]

Ground was probably too quick for Spindleberry over that trip and she was held up a bit far back and was brought very wide off the bend and she didn’t have ideal prep at the DRF last time. All that being said Dinoblue was very impressive and bolted up.
