    Mullins says a bit more here and sounds more like turners from this, but it will depend on all his other horses nearer the time as usual
    I think his thoughts were on this race specifically not his next run.

    • Willie saying 'Best work at the end', and Townend saying 'I'd say he'll stay well'... If KDB wins well tomorrow then I'm sure Townend will be making his case for AB. He looks an AB horse all over for me.

        Yes some subtle hints in there. Not sure if the owner would intervene or leave it to them. But it wouldn’t make sense to put your horses in Ireland with the best, and then overrule their advice.

          I've only backed him for Albert and he looks nothing like an Albert type to me ....soz everyone.

              He could be a classy Albert type for a change. As things stand he looks like the only horse of Willies capable of winning a few extra furlongs.

              Tomorrow Will hopefully give us a bit of clarity

              Dont let us down Kopek

                If ant of you remember, there was a guy on the old betfair forum back in the day that would get every call wrong. Think he was called Moneytree. Lobos must be related!

                Moneytree had a cult following!

                          The worrying thing for me is the lack of other options for a PT ride in the Turners, with JP seemingly holding the ace card with another trainer as well.

                          If Kopek flops tomorrow, Final Demand surely drops back as other than Kopek, the non-JP Mullins Turners options are either once raced maiden winners or Supasundae. I don't necessarily think that Kopek needs to win given how highly Willie seems to rate Kaid ("He looks a real top notcher" in Sporting Life column for tomorrow), but I'd very, very much prefer it if he did given I'm balls deep in him for the Turners....



                          EDIT:
                          As an aside, the percentage call is to go for the Bartlett from the race Final Demand has just run. Since its inception (I think - the HRB stats are quite vague):

                          14 top 3 horses (4 winners) have run in the Bartlett
                          4 top 3 horses (1 winner) have run in the Turners

                            If Kopek flops tomorrow then it's long odds on the he'll run in the Turners.

                            Can't wait for the scenes on here if Kopek does the business tomorrow

                            Todays racing will take beating, but tomorrows card looks top notch!

                            • Place will be in meltdown if KDB doesn't look good tomorrow. Let's hope the confidence is warranted.

                              • The positive for Kopek is Jasmin jumped a lot better for a long way today, although it kind of fell apart a bit towards the end
