        Yeah,
        Not a fan of making definitive statements on here and then ignoring people.

        Probably just an innocent piece of gobshite though, which we can all be guilty of from time to time.

          • He could have a stone bruise and they could still declare him just in case he is ok on Sunday morning. He won't have really missed any work would he so makes sense to give him a chance to line up.

            Obviously not ideal if the stone bruise rumour was true but maybe Willie thinks its better than waiting for another race in a couple of weeks.

              Could've just looked a bit sore/lame at evening stables then was fine in the morning, it happens.

              • ….Mullins;

                Final Demand;
                Paul (Townend) has picked this fellow in what looks a very hot renewal. We think we have a strong hand here so it can’t have been an easy decision but his race in Limerick has worked out well so it will be interesting to see, not only from racing fans’ point of view but from our own as well, where these horses stand.​

                Jasmin;
                Going out in trip might just help his jumping, going a few miles an hour slower could be a big benefit to him. We know he has the big engine to compete at this level and I think he’s improving in the jumping department, he’s not in the Champion Hurdle league yet when it comes to his technique but he is improving steadily. If he does improve in that area, his raw ability, as we saw from the last hurdle home at Navan two starts ago, could get him home over this trip.​

                Joystick;
                His pedigree and method of galloping makes me think he’s a stayer. He was very keen on his first run back at Punchestown and we ran him over two miles next time because that was the race for him, we didn’t have much of a choice at the time. We were very happy that he won and happier with how he allowed himself to gallop and jump but on balance he’ll be a better horse over this sort of trip. He’ll have the freshness galloped out of him from the last run too so I’m hoping he can make some sort of a showing in this.​

                Sounds Vic;
                He won right-handed around Fairyhouse and appeared to jump a little to the left. It’s not something we’ve noticed before when schooling at home and if he favours going left possibly Leopardstown will bring out more improvement. We hope it does as it might put him in the picture all being well.​

                Supersundae;
                Patrick rides him again. We feel he ran a huge race when second in the Lawlor’s Of Naas last time and we also feel there’s a lot of improvement in the horse from his first and second run if it doesn’t come too soon. We’ve always thought a fair bit of him, the extra two furlongs will be a benefit so Patrick is looking forward to this fellow.​

                Port Joulain put it all together on the same card but he has a little to learn about things still. It wasn’t always straightforward for him but I’m sure we’ll iron out those things before his next run.

                Karbau is another horse that could go a long way. He galloped right through the line when he won his maiden hurdle.


                Kawaboomga really put the experience he got at Leopardstown to good use and was very impressive at Fairyhouse. He’s a horse that’s improving nicely and puts himself in the Cheltenham novice picture. I’m very happy with his progress.

                Aurora Vega really surprised me on the same card in the fact she was able to do that on the ground, I think it must have been riding a lot better than maybe the description on the day would suggest. The other fact is her mother improved with age and she looks to be cut from the same cloth.

                    • Could be Kientzheim vs Anno Power on Tuesday at Taunton with the former having to give the latter 4lbs.

                      Interesting race should both turn up.

                        Just nice to see an entry for AP . Wouldn’t have thought Taunton would be ideal for her on breeding, with no material rain in the forecast and obviously her prep has not been without issues so wouldn’t be surprised to see the Hendo horse a fair bit sharper on the day.

                          Big fan of Kientzheim here, very keen on debut but she won going away with the minimum of fuss, Anno looks nice but I wouldn't be discounting Queens Wish, was a very impressive debut win at Newcastle.

                            My apologies. Very poor form. Got a text from someone who is normally 100% reliable. Then saw a few mentions on twitter from reputable sources and just assumed it was common knowledge. Ive made an ass of u and me.

                            Something must have happened with him though?

                                Never apologies if your intentions were good mate, horses are funny creatures, he may well have been in a bad way when you were contacted then within the hour had shaken it off.
