Matt Chapman just intervued Willie Mullins

She would pick up the same prize money for coming third in the Champion hurdle as she would for winning the Mares.
 
Patrick Mullins said today he's sure 'Dad' will run Annie Power in the race which she has the best chance of winning. That to me is the Mares Hurdle. I hope he's right and that they wouldn't pull her from this race for Quevega's sake. Quevega's already won it five times, why should a sixth win be handed to her on a plate?

But what does Ricci think? He will have some input I would think.
 
I think most people would rather win a Grade 1 race at the festival than be placed in one for the same money.
 
Utterly baffled by the decision to run Upsie in the Limestone Lad - she stopped like she had been shot after 2 miles last time out and same again today .
 
That's only part of the story-it was the race after McCoy had a shocker on Jezki and in my opinion he decided he was going to lift Upsie home and instead of finishing second he finished fourth.I thought it was a brutally hard ride on a mare who wasn't going to win.
 
I see Mullins is talking about trying Turban in the Grade 2 at Naas next month. I was fierce impressed with him today, winning a very competitive handicap by an easy six lenghts.
