How is it that Willie Mullins can transform horses from donkeys to racecourse winners with the first run the horse has for his stable?

De Senectute after a run of eleven dismal to average efforts wins a 1m 6f handicap by nine lenghts on his first start for WP!

Laughing Boy is another recent example.

Thousand Stars, Beroni, Hampshire Express, Sivota, Tilabay and Dorset Square are further examples within the last year or so.

Its getting a bit suspicious, wtf is he doing??????

I'd say its fairly obvious that he is just head and shoulders above the rest.
Better facilities, better staff, better trainer.

he thinks outside the box.

It or he is a phenomenon. I was laughing at the Mugs who wanted to back the horse early at 6/4 and shorter. Surely these disciples were following the Master Trainer blindly I thought, in my ignorance. Serves me right for doubting him and those who've been converted. Lyons and Tyner must be embarassed unless of course there is a logical reason for the miraculous improvement.

I hope for the sake of his ego Tyner wasnt watching that!

Thats one thing that will never happen ,and thats somebody embarassing Ger Lyons.It just isnt a possibility,the man has a teak tough neck,and in his own opinion he is light years ahead of Mullins when it comes to training horses.Actually training jumpers is beneath Ger,he's more comfortable in the parade ring at the Curragh than with the plebs at places like Kilbeggan.

Good insight from biodiesel. He pushes the envelope too.

I was researching methods of training before which led me to a company, they said willie mullins was a customer, i nearly fell off the chair, it led me to believe that this man will go to great lengths to gain a edge, all the top men do. It wasnt illegal either,

The list of trainers that have been embarassed by WP is growing, Tyner and Lyons are not the only two!

Biodiesel: What do this company make? This may answer alot of questions.

Inch Island was trained by Ger Lyons.  It went to Willie Mullins  where  it regressed Grin

On its last  run over hurdles for Lyons it refused to race,and as it never ran past 9f on the flat,then Mullins did very well to get it placed in 2 Leopardstown maiden hurdles behind Schindlers Hunt and Sublimity.

George Baker in England has made many an ex-trainer look amateurish.

a change of scenery often helps a horse, Gordon Elliot got Silver Birch after Nicholls had trained him
