    Yeah needs a marathon distance
    But honestly don’t think he’s that good anyway

      That's probably the plan CAT. Everything went perfectly for him today

        3rd run already and only end of November - he's aiming for some hcap anyway
        Add Nurburgring to that list. That was a stinky ride today off a very short break.

          It was how quickly he let him go down to the start that made me think, "Today is not the day.".

              • In case anyone missed it, Willie all but confirmed he wants to keep Ballyburn over 2m in that Racing TV interview today. They'll probably have a snippet somewhere - the Naas race was mentioned but nothing about England. Said he's got a lot of middle distance horses for Limerick but didn't name any

                • Cheers Odin. Very happy with that ! Nice to know as early as this. Possible that things could change but good to have some clarity.

                    Yeah, I must say I’m wondering who! I suppose a few of last years 2 milers could step up. Il Atlantique, Tullyhill etc.

                      Probably sees his mates taking it easy , and he’s off to do some hard graft again!!

                        Tullyhill out this week? Think I read something
                        He looked a chaser in the making last season imo
                        Just checked. Entry at Thurles on Thursday over 2m 2f ish

                          • ….Mullins seemed very sweet on ‘It’s for Me’ in his stable tour. “Very Exciting” novice chaser. 50-1 Ark, 66-1 BANC both with cash-out.

                              A very iffy ride, that’s the last time I’ll be backing him until he appears to be off, the handbrake is well and truly on, apparently the new mid distance novice handicap is the target!

                              He’s a stone better than today’s performance. The ride was all elbow flapping & sod all drive.

                                Yeah that’s the target I have in mind at the moment.
