Willie's Bumper Horses

Dark Raven is so exciting imo. Could be anything

He looks very good.

Not sure what for yet though.

I’ve been tapping away at the 14’s any race for a while. He could go to any of 5 races so it’s a nice price, made a case for it a while ago, glad you like him too SW!

Didn't realise he was 14's, I've been struggling to work out what race he goes for. Seemed to come on/off the bridle in his 2 races to date though that could be just down to inexperience. Looks a nice type and excited to see him

[IstabraqBarRegular]

Yeah like Dark Raven myself
Looks a speedy type, have backed him for the Supreme as some owners have the smart O'Toole who looks a 2 and a half mile horse so leaning towards the Ballymore
That's how I see it anyway

Might add him. Must admit I've not even looked at him. Who is the 14's Any Race with ? Could be my first Any Race bet this year !!!

14’s on WH, 12’s Skybet.

14’s on WH, 12’s Skybet.

Great thanks. Will do him with Hills for my seperate monthly betting syndicate. Agree that he could go anywhere so TWAR the way to go with him especially at that price.

Done. 2pts at 14/1 Dark Raven TWAR placed. Cheers OTL.

I'm thinking now he could be a Martin Pipe horse

I've already listed all his runners in all the races at the Festival for 10 years and all their seasonal runs pre-Fez.

I think I am going to have to go deeper than that, and maybe layer in prior year form to see where they were at, at this time of year, to see who fits the bill from this season.

Its more work, all manual, than I thought.

But my team, the "Foxes Never Quit", and neither do I.

One thing I've learned re the Coral Cup is that Willie has a pretty awful record, with a lot of "afterthought" runners in it.
I'm certainly less keen on his runners for that race already.

Saxon, I have stats of Willie Mullins runners in every race he’s won more than once 2010-2020, I’ve yet to update for 2021. Theyre just in excel and a little bit all-over-the-place as they were really only done for my own benefit/understanding, but if you think they’d be a help I would happily email you them over or upload them to a google drive or something.

Could be useful ToniC.

I have a lot of it written out already to write in to FJ .

It would be useful to see your spreadsheet though.

If you message me I can let you have my email contact details.

Adamantly chosen was impressive at Punchestown - the 4th runs favourite tonight in 8.15 Galway, to give us an indication on the form

Do we think that Nikini might be Willies bumper horse this year?

She won well on her last day beating 2nd by 12 lengths picking up really nicely in the finish. She was giving 7lb to second that day too.

She drifted before the off too so maybe she wasn’t fully wound up?

She will get all the allowance in the Cheltenham bumper, maybe she will be his one?

I wonder whether they might send Hubrisko there instead of The Supreme??

I don’t think they’ll do that.

They skipped a Juvenile campaign with him and kept him at home. They decided to send Ha’Dor down that route instead of Hubrisko. I think they will send him
straight over hurdles.

Just read the section on Jumpers to follow “remains an exciting prospect for novice hurdles this time around”. They also go on to talk about the fact that he will be more effective over the minimum trip.

Hope that helps
