INTENSE RAFFLES lands €500,000 Irish Grand National

- Intense Raffles continued his Fairyhouse love affair to hold off the fast-finishing Any Second Now in a thrilling renewal of the BoyleSports Irish Grand National.
Twelve years on from winning the race with Lion Na Bearnai, Thomas Gibney struck gold again courtesy of the Simon Munir and Isaac Souede-owned French import, who has excelled at Fairyhouse in two starts since his transfer from the continent.
Those victories came in the hands of the currently-injured Daryl Jacob, and Jacob’s misfortune was J J Slevin’s gain as he stepped in to also register his second victory in the Easter Monday showpiece aboard the gutsy grey, who showed his star quality with a brilliant round of jumping.
Always travelling powerfully in the hands of Slevin as he tracked the pace set by Frontal Assault, not even a mistake at four out could halt Intense Raffles’ momentum as the six-year-old eased effortlessly to the head of proceedings.
Keen to hold on as long as possible, Slevin waited until after two out to edge the 13-2 scorer’s nose in front and after jumping the last with a narrow advantage he plugged on gamely to the line as Ted Walsh’s veteran and Willie Mullins’ Minella Cocooner were bearing down with every stride.

What a great race from the veteran any second now
Sums up the standard of the race
What a beautiful horse and ride.He kept him calm all the way round and jumped unbelievably (apart from 4 out) but still had enough to recover and find plenty at the end.
Congratulations to intense, Raffles, and jockey, JJ. 👏🏻🥂🍾
From the perspective of a blind person, that was the most awesome, passionate commentary!
Well done everyone, including the breeders, trainers and owners.
Congratulations to everyone. 😊🏇🏻🏵️
NIKKI, The Trainer Thomas Gibney in his interview after the race said..... "sure look-it, Stevie Wonder wouldn't have seen that one coming" (at 11min30sec)..... HA HA HA !!! @JerryHannon #JerryHannon
LOL, yes, I heard him say that. How funny! 😎🤣
Great excitement alright, don't mind the moaners on here haven't a clue
Very Likeable Trainer, Good to See the Smaller Yards get the breaks 😊😊
Congratulations to Intense Raffles!! Your FAIRYTALE Just Came True Today!!❤😊!!
so proud of Tommy,intense raffles and team ,brilliant
The commentary is the real winner 😅
Great win for Thomas Gibney, Good commentary as ever ,
Amazing how Thomas Gibney took the lead at the end, Grey horse really picked up speed, and that stride was absolutely beautiful.
Did the job well for a six year old. JJ gave him a great ride and he kept finding. Brilliantly done for a small yard and congrats to the team.
I like listening to this race caller
Congratulations to all!🤩🐎
The race starts and I see a big grey running up front very relaxed and happy in his work. Guess what ?
what?
SUPERB RIDER/SUPERB HORSE COMBO. LOVE IT.
Had a go ew on frontal assult ew, ran a blinder to keep 4th place after having the 6 year old breathing down his neck a long way out, the winner stumbled aswell and still won like that, the jockey JJ was excellent and that was a great training performance shrewd yard 🏆🎉
excited commentator
"Any Second Now" is well named - 2nd in two Grand Nationals.
Ran a great race
U wouldn't mind a few more like him. 12 yrs old and winners 6. He's a legend of a horse
Not sure how the horses pulled up after race but I was exhausted listening to the caller who did great job
Love the sportsmanship from the other jockeys
Great Ride and horse and great training performance
Jerrys hannons voice trailing in last .
9:00 Commentator giving it big licks love it
Hearty congratulations to intense raffles and all the team members
Had 10 fee bet on it happy days
Jumped very well
Brilliant ride well deserved
Get in Intense Raffles 👍💷💷💷💷
Well done 👏Hope you had a decent wedge on him..Did you see Martin 'Abdul 'Lewis's post about the double with Journey with me?Howling laughing as Lewis probably did all his pennies on Saint Sam. 😂
feel sorry for jacobs
@@Rebeljustforkicks Desperate measures from the 🤡 😂😂
Can't understand the negatives... Great horse, Great commentary. AJR Would be proud! The Gold Cup next?
Whitbread
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏, TO ALL CONCERNED GREAT RIDE 👍 BY J J ,GREAT RACE. 😢 😮 😢.
€270,000 grand national 10k for 4th wouldn't pay the jockey and day out fees 😂tragic event... wouldn't expect more from boylesports and fairyhouse bet they had nice comfy checks for the executives and track owners and bookies... we've accepted cheap mediocrity in our horse rich country people are even happy about it...people looking in from the outside must think is this the best they have on their Grand National day. Poor stuff
Cheques not checks
Sad no English runners in d race big prize money
Only 6
Great to see a small yard win d big stuff well done jj slevin
😊👍🏾👍🏾
Some Achievement considering Mullins probably had 15 runners in it 🤣
Just super performance agreat champ Thomas well done from SriLanka I did win small amount thank you sweety horsey love you
Only Grey
Looks like the Owners have found a replacement for Bristol De Mai, front running stamina laden grey horse. You could see him running a big race in the Betfair Chase usually run in heavy ground in November. He`s run seven times at Auteuil so maybe 1st they have a crack at the Grand Steeple Chase de Paris in mid May. Would be nice to think he could develop into a Gold Cup Horse next March
gold cup 😂😂😂😂 he beat 2 or 3 good to decent horses that carried more, literally this horse is a grade 3 yoke or even a good handicap horse at best this race was ran by horses who cannot win a race in graded company this will be it's crowning achievement.
@@aman2340 He`s only a 6 yr old. Horses often improve and develop with age. They don`t all start as superstars. Those that do often flame out. Remember Yorkhill and Samcro.?? Native River, Al Boum Photo, Sizing John, Minella Endo & A Plus Tard as novices weren`t viewed as Gold Cup Horses. In fact Sizing John and A Plus Tard were seen as more 2 milers.
@@aman2340 Take up knitting.
6 is peak age he has 3 or 4 more good years there's 4-5yos with multiple grade 1 winners here in ireland that cannot enter this race... again its a grade 3 handicap now, its not like before. yeah sure i mean there's 1000s of horses who have and have not exceeded ...it's "rare" you'll ever see a grey go on to become a great, remember i said rare not impossible. He might win a grade 1 handicap or the uk national which is fine but that's about it you can tell when a horse is a great and he doesn't strike me. we'll see in a year or 2. @@mervyncharter
@@aman2340🥱
I love jj slevin
ooh ducky
I get a tenner free bet on a Monday from pp and sky it all went on intense raffle . Fab win
What all ten pounds? Wow
@globaloffice3214 big bet for me am a £1 bet man
Stevi wonder can't see anything Coming....Ha ha...
Dreadful commentator.
Gobshite
I did a bet on Nick rockette I lost 😢
before you bet on a handicap race always check the weight the jockey has to carry. if it's top weight 11-10 to 11-13 over 2m6f then i would not back that horse unless it's proven it can go the distance with that weight on that going and can beat other horses carrying less weight.
@@aman2340 awwww I get ya I thought Nick rockette was favoured to win I put a bet on him I lost
The commentators the worst ever. Fkoff and retire
Who would you have
He sounds like he's constipated. 😂😂
Completely agree. What a horrible voice. You wouldn't listen to a singer with a terrible voice so why a commentator?
Must have lost his bollox on something else 😂😂
He’s 45 or so you melt! Shows what you know 😂😂😂
Game as you like
Is the commentator ok 🤣
