[somer1]

Thinks it helps to have a place where we can all look if we know whos doing what.
Porticello looks to be staying over hurdles next season. ATR.

What is the general consensus on Sir G… I kno rumours suggesting hurdles but my gut think arkle/turners , am I crazy ?

I wouldn't like to hazard a guess where he will go, with mullins having so many darts to throw, he could have vauban and state man for the champion hurdle, if good enough and send Sir gerhard and Kilcruit to the arkle/turners but he also has so many others who could go those races ! Not much help really !

[FinalFurlong91]

I have him down as the arkle winner at this very early stage

given i got every mullins horse wrong this year that definitely means he will go elsewhere

Why take on Constitution hill, honeysuckle and vauban

Where might Mullins squeeze James de Berlais in ?
And won’t Appreciate It be a leading Arkle light next year or has that plan been abandoned ?

Would assume the Turners is still the plan?

Hes got so many top horses these days hes gonna be running them against each other non stop at the festival

It's almost getting to coolmore/godolphin levels where they have no choice but to run multiple runners as there aren't enough big races to split them

It's mind scrambling trying to predict where mullins horses will end up, you give it some thought then realise you've totally forgotten a couple !

Yep agree, case of having too much talent perhaps.
Though I guess as punters/fans that’s what we want to see and you’d rather he do that than hold horses back for other targets resulting in a mountain of vouchers being flushed down the toilet…

Worth considering that the same owner / trainer combination have El Fabiolo who could be going novice chasing too. Expect they will be split it they both go that route.

As well as Vauban won, there have been plenty of impressive Triumph winners who don't do anything as a 5year old. I wouldn't expect him to play too much into thoughts for Sir G.

Willie thinks State Man is “a horse for the flat” if not this season, then certainly next.

Does that imply he’s staying over hurdles?

It implies he will be running at Royal ascot at some point and in other flat staying handicaps like burning victory

so fences as well would be very unlikely youd think
