Plusvital-Supported Yard Gavin Cromwell Lands The Historic Goffs Thyestes Chase

Gavin Cromwell celebrated a remarkable victory at Gowran Park as Now Is The Hour claimed the 2026 Goffs Thyestes Handicap Chase, one of Ireland’s most historic and competitive races. Ridden by conditional jockey Eoin Staples and owned by the BDS Syndicate, the win marks a standout achievement in a race that has been a highlight of the Irish racing calendar since 1960.

“This is unbelievable stuff and I wasn't sure if he had won, as it was close” said Gavin Cromwell to Irish Racing. “Eoin was very good on him and he is great value for his 5lb claim. It is a fantastic race to win and what a difference a day can make! The race is a big part of the calendar with a huge history and while I had finished second it last year, it is great to have your name on the cup", said Cromwell.

Congratulations to Gavin Cromwell, Eoin Staples, the owners BDS Syndicate & the entire team behind this on a fantastic win. Not only winning the feature on Goffs Thyestes day, they recorded a treble on the card with 'The Lovely Man' & 'Champagne Jury' also winning.

The yard’s ongoing success is supported by Plusvital supplements, including Electrolyte Plus and Bioflavidex, which help maintain the horses’ health and peak performance.
