      A good source, close to the stable maybe - in your opinion?

      • Willie has one entered for the bumper at Naas next Thursday - Sir Argus - same owners as Burning Victory and GDC.

        Has anyone read/heard anything from stable tours or elsewhere about him?

        • Not sure if its a load of waffle, but had a guy on twitter reply to me a few weeks after I requested facile vega on skybet, guy is saying Facile Vega will be running at Leopardstown at christmas, guessing he knows what hes on about as hes been tweeting since 2015 about his brother in law owning Quevega

            Yeah Mullins mentioned that he may be seen out at Christmas.

            • To add a bit more substance, when I spoke via email to Mullins team I asked them which horse to watch out for and they said they are very sweet on Facile Vega.

                  This was only this morning, really quick and not a massive shock but nice of them to mention as one to watch.

                    Cheers.
                    Yup - certainty one that is being hyped, not typical from Closutton over the years. Hopefully bodes well!

                    • I know a lad who rides out at Willie's, hear from him a couple of times a year at and he said a couple of weeks back that everyone in the yard is stone mad about him and very excited for the short and long term. Now saying that, it's an easy enough call to make with the breeding etc but it does seem like he could be useful.

                      • Facile vega, do we know the owner?
