WP Mullins

Well worth taking him abroad now the Papot family have Bel La Vie established as the nations leading staying chaser - his campaigning should be a lesson to all French owners in having patience with a horse and taking your itme :)

Willie has a pair of intresting entries in the maiden hurdle at Tipperary next Thursday. The ex French trained Lucky Bridle and the former John Gosden horse Daneking, both of which cost six figure sums at auction last autumn.
 
Ricci said: "I love it here (in Ireland), I wouldn't race anywhere else.

"We race in England, selectively, but here it's good.

"I told Willie Mullins, I guess in 2005 when I bought a horse with him, that I'd buy more horses if there was a chance to be successful, and we've had great success.

"We had nine Grade One winners globally last season - seven in Ireland, one in the UK and one in Japan. It's extraordinary.

"I've very honoured to have such great support from Willie and all the people in Ireland for our horses, and I'll continue to participate here for as long as I can.

"It's wonderful. Great racing, great people, great prize-money and great craic."

Cheers granger, good reading. Lots to look forward to. Wouldn't be the biggest shock in d world to see Boston Bob ending up in the World Hurdle.

Thanks Granger, I notice Back in Focus isn't mentioned, has anyone heard anything of him?

Holds an entry in next year's Aintree Grand National, so don't suppose they will be in any hurry with him, but I expect you knew that. Holds the best part of a four page entry in Timeform's Chasers and Hurdlers.

Pont Alexandre, Un Atout and Back in Focus all missing the season is a big blow, even to one with Mullins's firepower.

So Young isn't mentioned in the stable tour so presumably he must be injured as well.

Of the new bumper horses who are yet to be picked up by an owner, he mentions Tarare, Royal Caviar & Black Hercules.
 
Thanks a lot for that, much appreciated.

Wylies have had quite a few new horses entered for Mullins this week and Alonso won last week nicely. They've obviously spent a fair amount this summer as they have plenty of new horses with Nicholls too.

Can't believe the Riccis have bought nothing new either, especially had about 15 new horses last year alone. They must be one of the most successful owners around in terms of percentage wins and number of Grade 1 winners to horses in training.
