Tornado Flyer

totally agree

disgusting but sure when nothing happens when the horse tests positive they're hardly going to do anything about that

and I bet his Townend one on the suspicious drift against it and it finished tailed off of the finishers!! We have NO chance!

I do hate myself for moaning though - I mean, no-one is MAKiNG us bet right?

2/1 was tight for the winner (almost 5/2 here), they had the lot going for them there ...

They sure did, no.1 that the danger was a million

Said it last year but for all the stick they get at times over the season Gigginstown are more reliable than anyone

I know the hot pots who do run badly never seem to drift like Mullins also rans

RUK IS RACINGS equivalent of match of the day, motd have no qualms in saying man u players never lifted a leg for jose,and if lf spuds walked on to the pitch and kane fired a 30 yarder past his own keeper from 30 yds pundits would be all over it, yet we,ve had 3 races in Ireland in each one things have happened that's lefts mclean and obrien almost speechless but there,s no finger pointing going on , no questioning of owners trainers,joCks its just ok, one big shout of NEXT,

We can moan but as i said he tested positive at Punchestown yet was allowed to keep the race and winnings so HRI are hardly going to do fack all about them laying horses that are not off a yard. To think they say the dog game is crooked over here, it ain't got a patch on the horses that's a fact

Mullins insiders are often right imo.

I  daresay  Mr Mullins won't be needing the services of Mr. Stephen Lanigan-O’Keeffe, S.C.  or  Mr. Joseph Fitzpatrick, Smithwick Solicitors, Kilkenny.to say why the substance was absent during this flop.

Owners are being taken the pi$$ out of by the Kant

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Tornado Flyer, trained by W.P. Mullins, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. Samples were taken for analysis

Something is not right concerning Closutton stable...just to many occurrences where fancied runners drifted alarmingly in the betting and then ran no race at all in big races eg Yorkhill, Melon and now Tornado Flyer; Come To Me coughed after the race.

Willie Mullins can find nothing untoward with Tornado Flyer after his disappointing run at Naas last weekend.

One of the leading bumper performers last season, he finished third behind stablemate Relegate at Cheltenham before winning his Grade One at Punchestown.

Having triumphed at Punchestown on his hurdling debut, his clash with Battleoverdoyen in the Grade One Lawlor’s of Naas Novice Hurdle was billed as one of the best of the season to date, but he was pulled up by Ruby Walsh.

“I don’t know what happened to Tornado Flyer. We had a few horses run disappointingly and Come To Me (seventh in the same race) gave a few coughs following the race,” said Mullins.

“However, nothing has shown up with Tornado Flyer and I was going to work him on Thursday but left him alone to David Casey.

“He will probably have a run shortly as he didn’t have a race at Naas. I think he may have backed off the other horses early in the race and become detached, but we’ll have to wait and see.”

Why no 24/7 cctv in stable and race tracks especially the good horses? This un-explained regular occurrences cannot be allowed to continue. I believe in Hong Kong repercussions would have been felt by stable concerned, if so. Otherwise horse racing could find itself in disrepute with the racing public.

BACK AT NAAS tomorrow..... in 1.20 Novice Chase 11/8fav
