Agree. Running at the DRF over fences is very much a test of his RH tendancy.

I think we know all that.Originally posted by archie View PostYear in, year out, people play Mullins Bingo and then whinge about bookies and/or Willie when they get it wrong.
Print that out and keep it handy for the next time. He really does leave these decisions until the last minute and, oddly enough, he usually gets it right.
Maybe it’s best if he says nothing until the decision is made.
Be a lot better that way imo.
Saying something and then changing it a couple of days later helps no one imoComment

I do think people are a bit more sensitive when it comes to this fella than most horses. Punters have been told a fair few things about this horse from the people that know him best and it’s been quite a roller coaster ride for many punters. Maybe ‘whinge’ is a little harsh just on this occasion?Originally posted by archie View PostYear in, year out, people play Mullins Bingo and then whinge about bookies and/or Willie when they get it wrong.

Personally I paid absolutely no attention to what Willie said and I have tried on a few occasions to help people understand how his mind works. Like you say people can read this article and get it from the horses mouth so to speak. It’s just a shame that it’s taken this long for a reporter to ask the right question and for his response to be published. But now it has people need to absorb the clear message.Comment

Disappointed we won't get to see just how over rated Gaelic Warrior is against Marine Nationale myself

He quite clearly said nothing was set in stone in the article, I'm not sure why people are so annoyed with it?Originally posted by Carnage at Taunton View PostComment

Ah sorry, think I read your post the wrong way then!Originally posted by That Horse View Post
Wasn't shitting on Envoi, just saying he was another bumper winner who went on to win G1 races in open company.
I was more trying to make the point he was the only other one I could think of, so as a general rule, most Cheltenham bumper winners don't make it that high up the ladder.
I've seen him live and win at Down Royal so couldn't not be a fan of him

We might yet. Going by that article it was going to happen but seems like Vega just working the better of the two maybe? Will it be all change again in March ? Who knows. Exciting times whatever happens.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostDisappointed we won't get to see just how over rated Gaelic Warrior is against Marine Nationale myselfComment

I can't come up with a logical way that would happen nowOriginally posted by Lobos View Post
Gaelic beaten for stamina on Sunday, Marine Nationale wins easily but then is ruled out through injury?
A big leap.
Not happening, we can move on.Comment

If Facile and Gaelic both bomb out this weekend then you never know.Originally posted by Kevloaf View Post
Facile almost certain to then be stepped up or not run.
Not sure with Gaelic though.
But I'm out of the Gaelic arkle camp for now
Marine would likely hand him his arse anyways.

Don't tell Willie thatOriginally posted by Kevloaf View Post
Facile to disappoint again. Marine to win but not look that impressive. Gaelic to get caught after leading them a merry dance for 2 miles.
There's one logical reason. I could make up at least 10 more

Yeah, that one is logical - I didn't put much thought in to it.Originally posted by Lobos View Post

Even then, whatever got close to Marine would be from Willie and surely then be the main dart?
It's not happening anyway, Marine Nationale wins this on the way to winning the QMCC next season.Comment

Aye I’m hoping I can hover over the 10/1 Arkle and Champion Chase if he is winning comfortably on Saturday.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostComment
