You're right Simon - it's Black Jack Blues I'm thinking of. Also over there at the minute are the likes of Decoy Daddy, Pierrot Lunaire and Dirar.

Organisateur who won a few hurdles for Paul Nicholls as well as being pipped by Dynaste when giving a load of weight away, went to the US as well.

What was prize money CL?

Thirty thousand dolllars, so while it is decent enough it isn't massive.
AlexBrownRacing has posted some photos of the winner and the racecard on twitter.

Thanks CL
BetVictor returning up to £25 in the form of a free bet if your horse is beaten into 2nd by any W P Mullins winner at Punchestown (does not apply to ante post bets).
Makes the 6/4 Jezki & 6/5 Solwhit very appealing - if only for a pony.

It don`t seem five minutes since Sharky told me to bet him for the second time in the Kerry National. Something put me off him. Didnt even put him in the Neigh competition

Not sure if it was mentioned anywhere else on the forum, but Rich Ricci has departed Barclays. It might be the reason he wasn't at the Cheltenham festival when Champagne Fever. Apparently his style was not appreciated by the new boss who replaced Ricci's close ally Bob Diamond. I doubt he wil be out of a job for long. He is very close to some of the Barclay's racing fanatics so wouldn't be surprised at all if he brought a few with him for a new venture or into a new organisation. Wonder if it will have any impact on his spending power with Willie. He must have loads of cash reserves from all those bonuses over the years. I think he got £7 million last year.

He has some set of novice chasers for next term if they all stay sound. Champagne Fever, Un Atout, Pont Alexandre, Inish Island, Ballycasey, So Young, Mozoltov, Annie Powers etc.

I see reports on Twitter that Aupcharlie has been moved from Mullins to De Bromhead.
HdB mentioned it in an interview with Gary O'Brien at Limerick today. It's owned by the Pottses, so maybe it's not that surprising.

I wonder will he improve him?

Good question. They better find out what his optimum trip is first

There was a Mullins/Potts horse running yesterday at Down Royal.
That might answer that. Might just be that Aupcharlie needs to sharpen his jumping or needs a change of scenery. They spent a long time trying to find out his trip.

Willie has a number of entries for the big Auteiul meeting.
Diakali, Doogara, Blood Cotil and Viconte de Noyer are in the 4yo hurdle, while Thousand Stars, So Young and Zaidpour are in the Prix la Barka.
I see Nicholls has entered Celestial Halo in this as well.

Alistair Down on ATR's forum yesterday stated that there were five horses over in France which most of the top buyers were chasing recently but when push came to shove it transpired Mullins had already bought alll five.
