Mares Novice Hurdle 2020

[Quevega]

Paul Townend has won 25 times from 57 rides for Sullivan Bloodstock Ltd in the last 5 years.

The next most wins for them is Ruby with 7, in 5 years.

Mark Walsh has had 1 ride and no wins for them in 5 years.

Something has gone off I reckon, but they'll probably not let on.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter, does it.

Magnier does own Yukon Lil.
Wonder of he pays extra ?

Magnier who has close ties to McManus who retains Walsh!

[Quevega]

Magnier who has close ties to McManus who retains Walsh!

even weirder.
Are both Magniers daughters married ?
Is Paul courting ?

Jockey bookings do look odd against this backdrop. Any news from Willie's Racing Post column tonight?

That'll be it then. Sorted.

[AnFiieLD.]

Sullivan can be picky with jockeys. Noel Fehily for example would ride some of his horses even when Walsh was around.

Walsh is not on magnier’s horse

Paul Townend did ride Dolcita on debut as well as Yukon Lil on seasonal debut.

I know that.....that wasn't the point

[Lobos]

This thread is getting weirder than the Jockey bookings...lol !!

[Quevega]

Think it confused Lobos and Anfield

For clarity - Walsh rides for McManus - who is mates with Magnier - who owns Yukon Lil - but Townend is riding for Magnier and not Walsh - who is riding for Sullivan who very rarely rides for sullivan as it's usually townend.

That's a lot clearer.

Christ, I'm going to bed. Got to be up at 6 to catch a train to Cheltenham. Boom !

[Philg123]

Maybe it’s because townend would ride Lamarkise at Cheltenham and Mullins is saying Walsh will be riding Dolcita.. that’s how I potentially read it.

[Kevloaf]

In general, better off working out the horses form than who sits on their back....


Not as big of a factor as we all make out unless they're different class.



Townend, M.Walsh, Puppy Power, Davy Russell....

All about the same really. No standout there.

You might have a preference, but they're not even head above the others, let alone head and shoulders.



Too much time spent on this so far
