Down Royal

Should be number 5 in this race

Wins this & the last 2 rnrs are odds on.

4/4 so far today.

willie sat waiting with not a bother on him . will strike with  a few sighters at xmas in dub , repeat in feb and then bang everything in at punchestown . i think if you look at recent seasons this is how it is .

A 3M G1 domestic chase and no runners. Seems quite odd, even if the galacticos aren't entered one would have thought he has a few lower down the pecking order that could have ran.

A carved-up agreed between the top 2 Irish stables. Poor Irish racegoers and punters.

Mullins doesn't really get going until Christmas.

Yeah poor punters. All those favs being actually produced to be fit enough to win. Not on at all.

Poor punters 

Elliott Down Royal Nicholls Wincanton Mullins Cheltenham Moffatt Cartmel Hills senior Chester Donny Sir Henry you really couldn't go wrong etc etc, if you lost last 2 days, game not for you.

MJK the post you replied to is 2 slices short of a loaf

Impossible 725

What a ridiculous post

How misconstrued? If a trainer monopolised (almost) thro' the card with long odds-on how could that be good for punters and horseracing? I'm mostly a fav backer however, no matter how fancy a runner is esp from the same stable with multiple runners I'd hesitate or refrain to back them all in an acc or every race esp if they are non-prestigious races unless in antepost (not raceday). Only a very few (if at all) punters would do odds-on individually in every race, why? It's usually unprofitable, interesting or savvy.

I firmly believe racegoers want to see competition. At Down Royal just recently only one representation (stand corrected) from Mr Mullins' Closutton stable - the largest and most prolific winning stable. Which racecourse will be next in turn be the benevolent destination for Mr Mullins? Or Mr Elliot? Was Down Royal a coincidence?

I hope so.

impossible ... you will not be happy when you see the 9 decs for the punchestown morgiana hurdle . 70k  to the winner . 5 mullins . 4 elliot .

lot of those horses over there are just family pets running against proper racehorses.  the maiden hurdle at Naas today, 22 runners about half the field were 1000/1 here, another 3 or 4 were over 485/1.

Rico could've had 13 "lays of the day" in the same race. 

must've been creaming himself.

'windsor knot', that's sad. But, Hendo will be watching (possibly earnestly).

Mullins hasn't won the Grade 1 at Down Royal this century. He's only won the Grade 2 2 1/2 m chase twice this century. It's just not a meeting he targets. He prefers the John Durkan as the starting point for his better staying chasers.

Mullins still wants his horses on the boil for Punchestown in late April/early May. He doesn't want them to shoot their season at the start of November. It's a long season, and horses can only run at their very best maybe twice per season.

Nemo being backed today 1.30

Keen to see how this nag gets on.

1.35

Since my post it's gone the other way completely. now very weak

As predicted Jones comes back at him, and Wilson responds correctly...splitting sessions all that's needed.
