Who said this in the Racing Post today...
"You always get some dreadful value favourites in some of the lesser festival races at this time. Most punters haven't studied the races properly but they have heard that the trainer makes a horse his 'nap of the meeting' that a top jockey has been booked and that a gaggle of drunken hacks have tipped it at a preview night. Suddenly everyone is falling over themselves to back the creature in question at any price."
"Willie Mullins' Quevega is one such horse. She has won a couple of weak Irish hurdles, but bombed out in the one competitive race she has contested and her form is inferior to at least three of today's rivals."
Ouch! I hope he wasn't a layer,
In fairness, the bookies representative in question picked out The New Story as an each way shout for the X Country and that was a good call so fair is fair....better off paying attention to WP Mullins in future though...

Easiest winner at Chelt I've seen in a while, the dogs in the street where talking about that one.
Oh dear -that was expensive.Had a little bet on Sesenta for the County at 33s -was 2nd to the winner last time out.
Well true enough I suppose in that United is probably better over further and that was not the Chomba Womba that won the Ascot Hurdle .

The best filly/mare in training bar none. She obliterated them today - Whiteoak wouldn't have got anywhere near her.
Half gutted that the Hurricane didn't run today - will be the best hurdler we've seen for a long while

Hugely impressive. I think she was definitely too short on what she had shown on the racecourse but the barking dogs got it right big time. \
Oh well - if you are going to get one wrong,might as well do it in style

Fair play to you for taking a view on the race tdk - not enough people doing that these days and all showing 9/4 and 5/2.
Think she's a Group 1 horse in a handicap as they say.
