Fascinating to see how the ex Mullins horses perform for different yards - Don Poli, Apples Jade, Roi Des Francs etc.. All will have to adapt to different training routines, new surroundings and, most importantly, different feed. No more 'Mullins Magic Mix' for these potential superstars. Also - although it's a very different situation - the record of Mullins horses that have been moved on to other stables is shocking. Ask Henry De Bromhead - he got the Potts horses that had been at the Mullins yard and ended up losing them himself - and the owners! I would be very wary of backing any of the above until we see some of them in their new environments.
Will want to see a run before the money goes on but not going to get carried away. Gordon Elliott, Mouse Morris, Henry de Bromhead, Joseph O'Brien and Noel Meade all know what they are doing and whilst Willie unquestionably has a hugely successful operation, some horses (like people), will thrive under certain conditions, others won't. I am particularly interested to see where Don Poli and Valseur Lido end up.
