The father, Walk In The Park, is one of the more respected sires in jump racing, with a strong record of producing horses that improve with time and distance. The mother's side comes through Choisir, an Australian sprinter who has proved surprisingly influential as a broodmare sire — his daughters have a habit of adding toughness and athleticism to their offspring. Whether that combination translates into ability on a racecourse is the question Giant's Way is here to answer.
The trainer is Jonjo O'Neill, operating the yard alongside his son A J, out of their base near Cheltenham. Fifty-one winners already on the board this season is a serious number — it means this is a yard in form, not one quietly ticking over. They clearly know how to place horses to win races. Whether a debut runner like Giant's Way is expected to hit the ground running or simply learn from the experience, only the team will know for certain. Either way, the horse is in capable hands.
