Treacle Odds and Grand National Form 2013
When Treacle took the 66k Munster National at Limerick in 2009 it looked as if he was going to go on to bigger and better things but unfortunately the Tom Taaffe stable was hit with a virus and this horse suffered a number of injury setbacks. Treacle was pulled up on three of his next four runs, a direct reflection on the problems the horse and yard had been suffering. This did mean, however, that his handicap mark was back to a workable level and once full fitness was restored the horse managed to return to winning ways in October of last year winning a small handicap chase at Gowran Park.
Since then Treacle’s appearances at the track have included finishing runner-up to Cross Master in one of Ireland’s premier handicap chases; the Paddy Power at Leopardstown. Connections then decided to up Treacle to Grade One class for the Hennessy in the hope that a good run would ensure them a place at Aintree and the eleven-year-old belied his odds of 33/1 to finish in third behind Quel Esprit. That run resulted in a fourteen pound rise up the handicap and will now ensure that Treacle makes the weights for the Grand National at Aintree.
Tom Taaffe has stated that the Grand National has been this horse’s long term target ever since he was a three-year-old so connections will be anxiously waiting to see how their charge gets on now their long term goal has been achieved.
