How Many Winners will Mullins Have?

[clivex]

Was told this this week and it does illustrate the beauty of nh. Dominant stables under great trainers cannot dominate entirely. Gary Moore and Colin tizzard can beat them all to the top races

No po faced billionaires and joyless trainers drumming out pr drivel

Master Minded I believe?

Aragorn is correct - Kauto's 2009 GC is Ruby's last chase winner at the Festival.

Mind you, he has about a 26/27% strike rate in chases at Chelts outside the Festival, so it's not as if he has suddenly forgotten how to ride the course.

Horrible looking fall

Mullins decisions this week have been perplexing
this faller looked a chaser in the making for soft ground and he runs him on good ground in the Triumph

Briar Hill can save them the meeting but if beaten this could have been a really bad Festival for the amunition they have

Horrible looking fall

Arm injury but it looked like blood on his breeches - compound fracture?

Yes, it's just an indication of how competitive this meeting is.

It'll be 2015 at least before he wins another.

God willing.

Well spotted. Compound fracture of his humerus.

 

[Harbinger]

Horrible looking fall

Watching it back, he's lucky its just his arm - he was absolutely steamrollered by Adriana Des Mottes.

Hope he was thinking of that poor horse...

 

[chroniclandlord]

Were the two horses ok?

 

[Maxbet]

Hope he's alright but I think with the damage to his spleen and now this he should seriously think about retirement.

 

[Cruella]

Townend stood down now as well.

At this rate Rishi's looking good to get the leg up.

Townnend not riding Briar Hill ........
Is Willie getting senile.....?

 

[Cruella]

See previous post SB - Townend stood down.

 

[Harbinger]

He's hurt his shoulder too Suny, been stood down.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Did Townend's mount in the last fall?

In terms of injuries, whilst he is out for season, he should be back riding my Galway i'd imagine

Channel 4 panel just said he's injured (shoulder)

No way...he's already pinned to the high heaven in his arm and shoulder

 

[Harbinger]

No, presume he hurt it when he was brought down by Ruby's horse in the Triumph and after he came in after the County realised he couldn't go on?

 

[chroniclandlord]

Thanks Gareth.

 

[sunybay]

then why Townnend is riding in the gold Cup?
