Mullins: I think Yorkhill could be a Champion Hurdler in time. Definitely.

Embarrassing comment, why didn't he just say, Faugheen and AP aren't pulling up any trees and Yorkhill can't jump well enough, or is this the new way of training horses, novice hurdle to novice chase back to championship hurdle races.

No but they could always supplement him like they did with AP last year.

they ONLY TOOK HIM OUT OF THE RACE LAST WEEK

Yes Geoff that tells us most of what we need to know. They could put him back in but most unlikely. Everyone should relax.

I'm hearing yorkhill is injured and will miss the festival, not showing on the markets here yet though so could be rubbish.

where ya hearing it ahoy?

He is drifting on Betfair for the JLT, but more to do with Willies "Champion Hurdle" comments and general negativity re his weekend run

Market suspended. JLT that is

Ahh its declaration day. Apologies *Wipes Sweat*

Ahoy 1982 - where did you hear that Yorkhill is injured? People always say this 'i heard this....' and 'i heard that...' - ok, where?

No they didn't because the first stage of entries were only last week He was in the market and in the list of [possible entries] on the racingpost website.

He can be supplemented as AP was last year which is where i think they will go if something was to happen with either of them two greats (F/AP) which imo is a very distinct possibility given that they were both injured and have not been seen for nearly a year.

In other words Wylie is being used as a spare part again. Can't have anyone beat ap or faugheen. Not from a business stand point.

This haarse is definitely not top class so dont worry about him over hurdles or fences.

Won the weakest Neptune/Sun Alliance Hurdle in living memory surely? Beat Yanworth who is similarly below top class.

Maybe you're right eric. Possibly willie covering all angles incase of a kind of emergency scenario

Forget it lads,Annie Power is the fastest hurdler that ever lived over the champion hurdle course ,they also give her a half a stone allowance ,what more do you want Willie to say its in the stats if anyone wants to check.
sometimes a person goes looking for something and its right beside them but they can not find it.
