Thank's Gaz. The average of Klassical Dream's peak OR and his peak RPR is only bettered by Hurricane Fly and Faugheen among the Mullins hurdlers. (May also be an element of wishful thinking as I have backed him for the stayers).

Killarney is the most picturesque track that i've been to, but I would also give a mention to Gowran Park as a lovely track. Sligo looks a beautiful track on tv, hopefully I'll make it there in person in 2022.

I deliberately didn't didn't include those three or Thomas Hobson as I was strugggling to place their flat successes in relation to the national hunt winners. Wicklow Brave's position on the list was soley due to his hurdling career.

Thanks to everyone for their comments, I enjoyed putting it together.

I had him on the original long list of about 120 but as I don't think that he ever won a graded race and his peak rating was around 150 he missed out. Had he not fallen in the supreme he would almost certainly have made the final list. Thinking about it though, his longevity and number of wins...

On reflection, you're probably right about that. To be honest, I found it hard to pick where to slot the mares in. Vroum Vroum Mag and Benie des Dieux could also arguably be higher than where I placed them.

Due to Covid, I had plently of time on my hands over Christmas and the new year, and I got thinking about the best horses Willie has trained. I tried listing his best 100 national hunt horses and the list below is what I came up with. Among those to just miss out are grade 1 winning novice...

I think that if either move up to the Ballymore, that it will be Constitution Hill. I don't see the trip as an issue for him.

Very impressive indeed.

Grangeclare Native a Cheverley Park £430k purchase won't run run this season due to a pelvic stress fracture.

Assuming that Ferny Hollow goes for the Arkle, do they try either Blue Lord or Haut en Coleurs over two and a half?

Thanks

He was very impressive last season too when winning his maiden hurdle but as you say he's fragile.

I see Darragh O'Keefe riding the Mullins horse in the Lawlor's Hotel hurdle. Does he have some sort of arrangement for the Mulryans?

Hardline is a non runner at Tramore leaving Willie training all four runners. Annamix also a non runner.

I couldn't have Whiskey Sour but Ciel De Neige is the one handicap chase horse I've noticed too. I thought it noteworthy that he didn't get an entry in the Dan Moore.
