It is actually; especially through the lines.

neill d ... I havent backed him for any race. I am passing comment on what I have heard and seen in the markets. Good luck.

Ya didn't think you had Eric tbh, like myself if yer gonna back a Mullins staying chaser its Mikhael D'Hageunet, but its an interesting point about him rerouting Quel Esprit, hopefully given that hes not Mullins MOST high profile horse the damage for punters will be mitigated. Best of luck to you as well.

Wicketd I am not seething I havent backed his horses I try to avoid them as he is clueless. Others might be, ask them.

I have only Mikael in the Arkle and RSA just in case Mullins didnt mess him up which he has, to cover my others so I wasnt wrong there.

This sport is going nowhere imo.

Hard to believe he could be messed up so I covered ... however I was right he messed up.

what a stupid fred.

Mullins is a master.

He will have at least 2 in each novice hurdle event with a chance of winning, then he will win one the handicaps and then some.....

Indeed.

The opening poster is right.

End of thread.

love the way people right of Beef or Salmon, sure the horse only won over a million euro, useless beast!! As for Willie, he should hand in his license now as clearly by the races he's won he hasn't a clue!! :)  Eric first rule as a punter don't talk out of your pocket

For the record you can add Henderson to your list for his dodgy going-ons with Binocular this time last year.

How have punters had their fingers burnt by Mullins? It's your own fault if you go backing his horses for races when everyone knows he makes his decisions late.

If you backed one for the wrong race in an effort to get better prices and can't accept that those extra prices reflect the added danger that the horse might not go for that race. Then you are a sore loser.

Don't cry about things when they happen, take the hit and lay out at a loss. You win some, you lose some, don't play the antepost game if you can't take some pain.

...Don't cry if you can't understand the difference.

incompetent? That's a laugh!

Willie is very much old school and plays his cards very close to his chest there's no doubting that but basically he's very honest when he does speak.

Michael D is one horse who has been driving AP backers daft even before he ran again

2miles Finian's Rainbow or 3 miles Time For Rupert both outstanding recruits. Man would be mad to commit him to either race without knowing if both turn up as at his best he could go close in either.

Hi bening an either or horse WM will have discussed as much with the owner who surely see's the sense in the delayed decision?

interesting stuff on here.
no doubt he knows how to train a horse,but all this leaving it to the last minute stuff,really is their any need for that?he's always done it and personally i think he enjoys it,gets some sort of kick out of it looks like.
the end of the day he should know what race suits his horse best and aim him for that,maybe he does and just dont say anything,guess thats fair enough,he aint obliged to inform the public,but it does provide a discussion point.
As for quel espirit,if he said he is going for the NH,and then changed his mind,well thats out of order,cos when he DOES say something definite,people will believe him,cos he dont normally!!

eric, morris saying he has not backed a willie nullins horse is like saying Jim Davidson has never said anything racially offensive.

The man lies, manipulate and loses an awful lot of cash.

CHAPS - BLOCK HIM.....TRUST THE FORUM IS SO MUCH BETTER WHEN YOU CANNOT SEE HIS POSTS AS THEY SIDETRACK YOU AWAY FROM THE SENSIBLE CONVERSATION

The worst thing about Cheltenham is that none of the trainers seem to know what is their charge's best trip, or in many cases even if he is a hurdler or chaser. If it were just Mullins, it would not matter. Of course, as Ruby says, it is that each trainer is waiting to see how the races cut up, how each other trainer is playing his hand, before committing, but racing is not best served by the uncertainty continuing so close to the Festival. It does not happen at Royal Ascot.

The suggestion that Mullins is manipulating the situation to allow connections to hoover up the prices and lay non-runners is beneath contempt. Remarkably, it seems to have been intended as a defence of Mullins against the charge of cluelessness.

Ruby  explained why mullins leaves decisions late. Because you can assess the opposition and place your horses in races where they have the best chance of winning. Day of a lifetime for example, I'm sure mullins has decided that he has a better chance of winning the supreme than he does of winning the neptune  hence he's running him there. This must be because he knows how good so young is and will also have a good idea how good oscars well and first lieutenant are. Why should he commit his horses before he knows the opposition they will face? He duty is to his owners not the punters and he has always made it known he makes decisions late, he's warned you.

i'd say very far from incompetent,regarding targets for his horses if he wasnt one of the top trainers he wouldnt have so many good horses to make his placement of them a ballache for him hence the last minute decisions although the majority of trainers are all trying to place their horses in the race he'll have the best possible chance of winning.....doesnt make them incompetent.

Dumb thread, cba even reading it, but no surprise given who started it.
