Barry Connell

[granger]

Not alone is he spending a small fortune on horses, he has gone and got himself a retained jockey. Danny Mullins

 

[SlimChance]

Who am I mixing Danny Mullins up with? Or am I? I thought he was thinking of packing his bags for the UK at one stage?

 

[On The Bridle]

He's riding well at the moment - not like Connells buying...is he the NH version of the Blue Bin?

 

[LUKE]

I think Danny went to Alan King for a while about this time last year.I don't know if he is riding well but a lot of his horses go fairly short in running on Betfair.

Some of us were talking about that at the weekend.

 

[Sheikh]

Who buys for him . Trainers and agents are like flies around a pot of **** when they know someone has money.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Plenty better young jockeys in Ireland IMHO, to paraphrase John Lennon, Mullins isn't even the best jockey in his family

 

[Tanlic]

Is that the same Barry Connell that rode Dunguib? or are there two?

 

[trackside528]

That's Brian O'Connell.

It would have taken Pegasus himself for Barry Connell to have won a Champion Bumper!

Where the ferk is Dunguib?

Omens don't look good. Won't see a track again I'd say

 

[Cantoris]

Boher Bloodstock used to buy for him.....Gerry Hogan. Not sure who does for him now.

 

[granger]

Bit about him in today's Indo. Nothing earth-shattering

Thanks for that PJ.

Fancied mount benbulben wins after a good mention in the article.

 

[chroniclandlord]

A good winner for him. A good boost for Danny Mullins too.

 

[LUKE]

Mt Benbulben could have a few years racing for decent pots in Ireland if they resist the temptation to try and make him a Cheltenham horse-that was his ninth race of the season.

Right handed could be key for him.

Won well today.

 

[Euronymous]

He had absolutely nothing to beat with Harry Topper and Dedigout falling and Boston Bob being ridden like a cnut.

I wasnt able to see the novice chase and sprinters race today,what was so bad about townend,ive always liked him.

 

[Euronymous]

what was so bad about townend,ive always liked him.

I might be being a bit harsh on the lad, it was more the tactics than anything else. It's like Mullins decided Back in Focus was the one and steered Ruby onto him and left Paul to hack round on the better horse. Don't get it.

 

[reet hard]

C'mon, Euro.
They knew that his stablemate - dropping back 1m in trip - would have to force a strong pace, and PT didn't look overly concerned when well out the back at halfway, but he was clearly moving into contention when getting the 2nd last all wrong, and who knows what might have been from that point on.
Jockeys were declared when heavy ground looked likely, and Ruby was on the stronger stayer, but the ground didn't look at all bad to me, and it showed in the way his mount ran.

 

[Euronymous]

I read reports that Willie steered Ruby onto BiF. He's in danger of fecking up the horse like he did Mikael d'Haguenet.

 

[BennyB]

I would venture that Mullins has forgotten more about training than you'll ever know.

How much did you have on Boston Bob?
