Gildoran (foaled 6 June 1980) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and stallion. A specialist stayer he won the Ascot Gold Cup in 1984 and 1985. His other wins included the Sagaro Stakes and the Goodwood Cup. In all, he won seven races in a twenty-two race career which lasted from 1983 until 1985, during which he showed an aptitude for extreme distances and fast ground. He made little impact at stud.
Gildoran was a bay horse with a white star and stripe. He was one of the best horses sired by Rheingold, the winner of the 1973 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Gildoran was the first foal of his dam Durtal, a top-class racemare who won the Cheveley Park Stakes in 1976. As a daughter of the influential broodmare Derna, Durtal was closely related to many leading racehorses including Detroit, Zabeel and Carnegie. Throughout his racing career Gildoran was owned by Robert Sangster and trained at Lambourn in Berkshire by Barry Hills
Wake up
We will not surrender
To anyone at anytime
We will not surrender
Our hearts and minds will never die
Used be the one
Who said these words repeatedly
Now look what you’ve become
A part of them the fucking enemy
Open your eyes
Look what you’ve done to yourself
Open your eyes
Look what you’ve done to me
All I wanted was to be just like you
All I wanted was to see what you’d do
But now your breaking down
Slowly into dust inside of me
We will not surrender
To anyone at anytime
We will not surrender
Our hearts and minds will never die
Used to have a pact
To always have each others backs
But look what you have done
You turned it into a fucking tragedy
Inside I know your there
So help me to believe (help me to believe)
All I wanted was to be just like you
All I wanted was to see what you’d do
But now your breaking down
Slowly into dust inside of me
All I wanted was to be just like you
All I wanted was to see what you’d do
But now your breaking down
Slowly into dust inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
