as long as mullins can do that and just forget about it after a minute and a half , or have a joke about it with his dad , then that will happen in a soft race on a friday evening ....fact is they do not really care too much .......if that was the champion bumper would mullins have played the fool ? no...he would have lashed the living daylights out of it ....factor it into your bets ...they dont really care about a soft race like this...if he can win fooling around then he is happy to ...if not , who cares ?
