We are all entitled to out opinion, but isn't this a bit strong? A disservice and a mockery? Plenty of Supreme winner have gone chasing. It's a bit harsh to suggest they should go down the CH route, especially when they have the odds on fsv for the race. Presumably it's a mockery Vautour went chasing then? |

despite two rather tame efforts at Auteuil, Mullins' French experts Pierre Boulard and Harold Kirk decided it was worth taking a chance on the Walk In The Park gelding.
"Min was not overly expensive at all," said Mullins about the Rich and Susannah Ricci-owned five-year-old who was on Sunday cut to a general 6-4 (from 7-4) after bookmakers reported sustained support for him to win the opening race at the Cheltenham Festival after Saturday's sizzling success at Punchestown. Clue in the pedigree "If you look at his form in France, he was beaten quite a distance in his two runs, so he didn't have a huge price tag. The reason we were so interested in him at the time was because he was by Walk In The Park, who was the same sire as Douvan. "At the time we thought quite a bit of Douvan, even though it was very early in his career, so we thought it might be worth taking a chance on Min and that is what we did. "Yannick Fouin did recommend him to us and Harold and Pierre both liked him. But he wasn't overly expensive at all. It is not always about spending the most money and Min proves that." Mullins said that Min is unlikely to run again before the Cheltenham Festival after emerging from his impressive win in the Sky Bet Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle in good shape."I would say it's likely Min will head straight there now. He was fine this morning," Mullins added. |

If so, at the current rate of contraction Min will be nearer evens come February, a very tempting prospect for laying him I'd imagine.

Apologies for my earlier post the mullins 3yo harold kirk purchased on behalf of s ricci is RIVEN LIGHT. A €200,000 son of ravens pass and a smart flat performer
Not lyric light as I earlier posted. With him not being seen yet, may have been put away with next year's supreme in mind. Or he may be a late springer for the triumph. One to keep in the note book |

It is not a 2 dimensional as this but flip side is these favorites do get beat, and often push the odds up of the horses that beat them, so if you fancy something else back with confidence. They didn't all win last year and they won't all win this year

Shocking outfit they seem to ring me most Sundays because I once opened an account and then thought different about betting with them.
