Hewick (horse)

Hewick is an Irish-bred National Hunt racehorse best known for winning the 2022 Galway Plate and the 2023 King George VI Chase. Trained by John 'Shark' Hanlon, Hewick is owned by T.J. McDonald. He is known for his stamina and jumping ability, often running as an outsider due to his unconventional preparation and smaller stable connections. Despite his lower profile, Hewick has proven to be a consistent and capable stayer in top-class steeplechases. His career highlights also include a win in the Bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown Park in 2022. He has become a popular horse with racing fans due to his tenacious running style and underdog status.
