    Wonder what the price was for Mullins/Walsh to have no winners first 2 days?

    The Mullins' horses really aren't running to form and you can tell in Ruby's body language that he isn't persevering with them when he thinks they are wrong. Paul Morrison said on RUK that he thought a lot of them had gone in their coat.

    Makes Melon's run even more commendable though perhaps the fact that the horse had had only one run helped.
    The amount of them dropping out injured before it even started and how badly they are performing shows something is badly a miss in the yard, I think they will struggle again tomorrow.

    I think Top Notch will beat Yorkhill, TN has the form and in Yorkhills two chase runs hasn't faced anything special.

    UDS won't like the drying ground.
    whatever is up with Mullins ?? .. withdrawals, injuries, Gigginstown remove all their horses .. a real mess but good for racing in general ? .. and Fehily ?? .. he's winning the lot other than the ones he rides that I back and come second ((:<)</p>


    I posted the above earlier .. surely there must be a lot more to this than meets the eye .. From multiple winners to zilch .. I hope that is not a 'Godolphin' type scandal .. not being wise after the event but I have always been a little bit suspicious of Irish racing, handicaps, ratings and 'feeds'


    Phil Smith, the BHA handicapper, should give all O'Leary's horses a 3 stone penalty - now that would really give him the hump!

    Scratch that... Unless I am being thick.

    First race betting without Yorkhill Top Notch is 7/4, looks well over-priced?

    Can't stop watching the Might Bite run in.
    Just look at that lead before pressing play.

    Watching that back Nico done absolutely superbly to get him straightened out and back focused when he looked to have lost it, superb riding.

    Unbelievable finish. Also, listening to Holt's commentary and comparing it to Richard Hoiles, confirms to me that ITV made the wrong choice. Hoiles sends me to sleep.

    Excellent ride.
    He said after if the loose horse wasn't there he would have lost.
    Needed that horse as something to follow and aim at.

    Yes it worked the first two days. I rang them & they said you have to use a different code from the paper each day. Weird.

    First winner for Mullins/Walsh, but Top Notch wins it if he doesn't blunder at the 2nd last.
