Giant's Way

The horse is trained by Jonjo and A.J. O'Neill at their Cheltenham yard, one of the busiest operations in the country — the pair have already sent out 51 winners this season. According to the trainers, Giant's Way is a striking prospect with genuine bloodlines: a three-parts brother to Labaik, a horse with serious credentials. The tone from the yard is patient and confident. There is no sense of panic about the lack of results so far. Instead, the trainers have made clear they are taking their time with him, viewing this as a horse with potential that will emerge over time rather than one needing immediate success. For a horse this young and this lightly tried, that measured approach makes sense. The early races are part of the learning curve, and the real story may well be further down the line.
