Predators Gold

The overall record is just as striking. Three wins and seven places from just eight races means Predators Gold has finished in the first three almost every single time it has lined up. A 38% win rate — roughly 1 in every 2.5 races — is the kind of number that makes trainers and punters alike pay close attention. This is not a horse that flatters to deceive; it converts.

Behind that record sits one of the most powerful yards in jump racing. Willie Mullins, based in Muine Bheag in County Carlow, has sent out 237 winners already this season. That is not a misprint. His operation runs at a scale and quality that most trainers spend entire careers dreaming about, and the fact that Predators Gold has earned a place in it says something real about the horse's ability.

The most recent win came at Navan in December 2025, which is now four months in the rearview mirror, and the horse has since had a break of 77 days — short enough to suggest this is a planned freshener rather than a problem. The recent form figures of 3-1-3-5-2-2 show a horse that has been competitive throughout, with only one run that truly disappointed. The win sits right in the middle of that sequence, and the placed efforts on either side of it suggest a horse that is consistently putting in honest performances.

The first career win came at Punchestown back in April 2023 — and the track has been kind ever since. When Predators Gold returns there, the record demands respect. Some horses just click with a particular course: the turns, the ground, the atmosphere. Whatever the reason, Punchestown brings out the best in this one, and with a team behind it that knows exactly how to have a horse ready on the day, it would be a brave person to bet against it going back there and winning again.
