Could I trouble someone who is more clued up than me on the breeding side to let me know the distance El Barra would be suited to in terms of breeding?
[QUOTE=Topofthegame2021;n264109]Could I trouble someone who is more clued up than me on the breeding side to let me know the distance El Barra would be suited to in terms of breeding?
14/1 TWAR is not good enough I don’t think.
thanks & sorry for being cheeky [/QUOTE
disclaimer I am not a breeding expert and others can comment with more precision I am sure. But I will give it a stab. The sires best progeny tend to excel between 2 and 2 1/2 miles. The dam is out of Robin Des Champs however who is more an influence for stamina and so on balance I’d say 2 1/2 miles plus.

Ive just got pipesmoker added to the supreme market at 50/1 with hills..anyone think hed go here?
They were aiming him at the Ballymore last season so more likely to go there I'd have thought?
Beaten by Sporting John and Chantry House is solid if not spectacular form, given he's got some decent experience last season, he'd maybe have an advantage over this years crop of novices, but then again, he's got no entries...and not sure why he's been off so long which would be a worry?

I'd backed him for the Ballymore & the Bartlett in the summer but cashed him out recently due to a lack of entries and the price still being decent. Will probably be backing again if he gets an entry.
Yeh id like to see an entry, he was pulled out of the race t cheltenham in october against champagnesuperover and not seen since..i just added him as a pottential hout as he was mentioned nucely in hendos stable tour
Micro Manage - odds on for the 12:00 at Leop to kick off Christmas.
Just looking at Mullins' runners in that race.
2011 - Midnight Game 11/10 (1st) - 15th in Cinder's and Ashes' Supreme at 18/1 (My first ever live festival race )
2012 - Urano (2nd) 8/5 - Didn't run at Cheltenham
2013 - Daneking 5/2 (3rd) - Didn't run at Cheltenham
2014 - Alvisio Ville 1/2 (1st) - 7th in Douvan's Supreme at 20/1
2015 - Beau Mome 7/4 (4th) - Didn't run at Cheltenham
2016 - Bunk Off Early 7/4 - (1st) - 12th in Labaik's Supreme at 12/1
2017 - Antey 8/1 - (3rd) - Didn't run at Cheltenham
2018 - Klassical Dream 5/2 (1st) - 1st in Supreme at 6/1
2019 - Fils Spiritual 3/1 (3rd) - Didn't run at Cheltenham
So what does that tell us?
He's never had more than 1 runner in this race.
Won 4 of the last 9 runnings
8 of the 9 finished top 3
100% of the winners went on to run in the Supreme.
If the horses don't win, they won't be going to the festival
Only Klassical Dream was the shortest priced runner for Mullins in the Supreme
Given the profile, we can assume Willie is checking to see he's good enough to go...and we can assume, if he wins, it'll be the Supreme, given that in almost 10 years, he's only sent winners, and they've all ended up in the same race.
However, bar Klassical Dream, he's had more fancied runners, so is this where he sends his best novice? Probably not... Klassical Dream won this nicely, then had another race where he just touched off Aramon. There was a bit of uncertainty about where he'd run too and he wasn't the most popular Mullins runner, he didn't go off favourite although was single figures.
I've updated my diary with what I've done, but best place to discuss him is this thread.
That is the end of Micro Manage's festival hopes IMO
