That’s just what I’ve been thinking. I’m worried about the effect it will have on racing over here. I guess it all started when Graham Wylie moved his horses to Mullins after Howard lost his licence. I felt a bit aggrieved at that because with Ferdy Murphy gone ( or did he leave afterwards?) there didn’t seem to be any trainers in the north that could compete at Cheltenham or Aintree. What hope is there for small trainers? I can’t see an end to the Mullins dominance. Although there will surely come a point where his many owners aren’t happy about being beaten by a horse from the same stable? I’ve been wondering about how JP is feeling tonight? And I don’t think Paul Townend is over the moon at coming second.
