Paul John Gilligan

Galway Fri, 31st Jul, 2026  Kings Hill On home soil, it's lovely to win here,. . This race has been good to us, it's the third time we have won it. We hunted with the Blazers as we grew up. My kids hunted with the Blazers. They are all involved at home, and it's a credit to them really. My name is only on the licence, it's a real team effort. . I'd love to think he would have been a Galway Plate horse. We might look at that next year. He's very versatile ground-wise. I've probably had this in mind since Jack (Gilligan, son) won on him in Limerick. It was all about today and we'll see from here. It means an awful lot to us. We drew a blank here last year, and you'd be like a briar when you go home. . I would say we'll work back from the Galway Plate next year. Horses for courses. He's a course and distance winner now, so we'll strongly consider it.
