The Domination of Mullins & Co

[Tanlic]

Big deal only the tip of the iceberg...........having been involved in a few yards you hear these things all the time long before the public get to know.

Are we to believe these horses of e.g Mullins and O'Brien who the bookies put in as automatic favs that the lads don't know they'll need the race or are useless.

You can bet these lads make more money place laying the useless ones than they get wages...Willie had no idea.........gimme a break LOL

 

[Perpetual]

will never be able to understand why people are prepared to risk reputations and/or careers for a few grand, assuming that's all it was...

Quick buck gives some blinkers.

Should have doubled him with Archbishop of Canterbury so there would be no more about it.

The same vet has previously been in trouble for possession of controlled substances found in his car while at WPM's yard. He pleaded guilty to three of 14 charges and was given the Probation Act.

I'm just waiting for the media to tell us he made fortunes and has since been caught in the tack room with Stormy Daniels.....

[Bonjers]

Looks like the Rucker's have another expensive P2P recruit to run in 130 limited handicap hurdles with Evan Williams. Nice hobby!

It was only bought eight months previously at the Derby sale for €25,000.

You were ahead of the game DG!
Thirteen Punchestown Festival winners for thirteen owners says it all.
Bet he is glad there is no owner there ;,the hand would have been shaken off him by now.
I reckon as a part owner of his (2.5%of Jazzaway) I am probably entitled to say hello to him once every three years or so !

 

[chroniclandlord]

Of the thirty highest rated chasers in Ireland, only Fakir D'oudairies is from outside the three big stables, and he is from the No 4 stable.

He didn't dominate Cheltenham and that's the one that matters. His rivals haven't the fire power and HdB in particular clearly got all his horses at their peak for March hence his lack of success at both the DRF and this week.
