IT'S SUPERMAN!

Gold Cup hero proves as tough as they come

- By Melissa Jones

ERENNIAL winner Trawlerman (5-6f) was unbeatable again at a staying trip as he fought hard for the Weatherbys Lonsdale Cup.

John and Thady Gosden stablemate Sweet William cruised up to have a crack at the Ascot Gold Cup king, who came under maximum pressure from Will Buick.

Ata track where he took the 2022 Ebor from a poor draw, Trawlerman dug in like a true champion to hand the runner-up 3lb and a length-and-a-quarter humbling.

In achieving career win number ten, the Godolphin-owned titan took his career earnings to almost £1.6million since his debut in the Covid-19 year of 2020.

“You go 15 rounds with Trawlerman and you know you've been 15 rounds,” said Gosden senior.
