Punchestown next weekend will again serve as the launchpad for a cluster of Willie Mullins stars as he prepares Gold Cup hero Gaelic Warrior to take on an army of Grade 1-winning stablemates in the John Durkan Memorial Chase 🔗

Punch has no idea who David Muir is. He doesn't know that in February, the anchor of ABC's World News Tonight told all of America, on the evening news, that a baby monkey in Japan had made a friend. He doesn't know the Phoenix Zoo gave a young ape named Bodie a stuffed orangutan, in his honor. He doesn't know that somebody watching typed "Punch for President." He's a monkey. He knows two things. His keepers. And the orangutan. In Japan, we call her Oran-Mama. He was the only baby born on that monkey mountain in 2025. His mother couldn't raise him. For his first months, the softest thing in his whole world came from IKEA. This year, the babies came. Five by May. Last month, the monkey mountain reopened, and the zoo posted new photos. A baby running full speed, leaping onto Punch's back. Punch letting it ride. Punch is somebody's Oran-Mama now. America, he will never know you were rooting for him. You did it anyway. That's kind of your whole thing.

Punch the Monkey was loved because he was tiny, rejected, and still trying. Abandoned by his mom and shoved around by bigger macaques, he dragged an IKEA orangutan plush everywhere like it was the only family he had. That mix of baby-cuteness, loneliness we all recognize, and stubborn resilience hit people hard. He made millions root for the underdog who just wanted a hug. Its not like hes dead, punch continues to go viral thats why we will run @Punch_on_sol to ATH again
