  • The ride given to Pink was horrible. In the van, to the back, back to the front, outside, boxed in, slowed and switched back out, onto the rails.

    She wouldn’t worry the scorers in the Champion Bumper, but Pink should’ve won that.

    • Facile Vega was awesome to watch. It looked a very competitive race but I thought he was my best bumper horse this year, then when I looked at the opposition before the race I saw there were some really good horses and some real confidence behind them as well, but seeing what he did to them was incredible. It was as if he’d just jumped in around the last bend and once he opened up he was off. He could be anything in the future. IT’ll be Cheltenham next stop, all being well.


      Willie sounds quite giddy about him doesn't he? Giddy Willie!

      • James's Gate - yet another Willie Mullins bumper horse throws it's hat into the mix.

          Looks like he's running: https://twitter.com/IrishRacing365/s...PKBmUzmUpAOR9A

          Missed this one myself. Might be one I'll have to add though as cover.

          • Just covered myself having been completely ignorant of him. Sky are 12/1 NRNB or 16/1 antepost. I’ve risked the antepost

            • Has anyone heard anything about Dancing City for Willie? Seen a few people mention now he’s supposed to be a weapon. He runs on Sunday and allegedly comes here after… 33/1 with Ladbrokes 20s elsewhere could look big if he bolts up.

                Won his point well but his breeding is very ordinary. Would be interesting to see how he gets on against Kansas City Star.

                  Just looked at his breeding and it does leave a little to be desired, might have a speculative play in the case he’s any good.

                    Might be worth trying to request a 'win today and' price?

                      Yes definitely, especially if he’s a nice price on Sunday.

                        Got the right connections to be a decent horse.

                        Madmansgame may be declared for Mullins instead who is beautifully bred - sired by Blue Bresil and half brother to Gentlemansgame.

                          Yes, he’s an expensive purchase aswell… connections will be hoping he’s decent. Nice little race with hopefully some good horses for the future.

                          • Just been listening to Let's Talk Racing podcast and Josh says that there was a schooling race in Fairyhouse last week in which Flooring Porter was in the same race as American Mike. He says that Flooring Porter won by a length, and that Flooring Porter was driven out but American Mike wasn't pushed out at all as Codd was teaching him to travel upsides a horse. Be some race with Facile Vega if this is true. Related double anyone?

                              If it was over two miles or shorter then it would be tough to take it too literally. Also, both horses could be at different stages of their prep too. Lastly, without seeing an actual clip, it’s hard to know how hard FP was driven out as I doubt they’d have been flogging him either.
