Hurricane Fly has just been to the racecourse

@WillieMullins

We brought Hurricane Fly for a racecourse gallop, i will not be telling anybody how it went or what our plans are with the horse

Im sure Pat Keane will get a quote from Ruby.....LOL

Funny that, if it went well you'd imagine he would be telling us?

been cut with 2 firms so not a bad sign at least.

Why would he? Willie doesn't give a fcuk about punters.

why is willie so secretive? ive always liked him but hes coming across as a proper d1ck

Willie Mullins was "absolutely delighted" with Hurricane Fly's latest workout at Leopardstown on Thursday afternoon.

Ireland's champion trainer has recently not been satisfied with the current champion hurdler, and decided not to run him in the Istabraq Festival Hurdle over Christmas.

But after a strong workout with three stablemates, Mullins is hopeful he will make the line-up for the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on January 29.

"Everything went very well," said Mullins.

"It was more than a little workout, it was a good piece of work.

"I sent three others to gallop with him. He was ridden by Emmet (Mullins).

"Emmet and Paul (Townend) ride him in all his homework, but I've given Paul a few days off this week.

"Emmet settled him in behind and he cruised up to the others, and when Emmet gave him a squeeze he shot clear. I was absolutely delighted with him, it was just what we wanted to see.

"We're working towards the Irish Champion Hurdle with him on the 29th and hopefully he'll get there."

Hurricane Fly was unbeaten last season, with wins in races like the Hatton's Grace, the Festival Hurdle and the Champion Hurdles at Cheltenham and Punchestown

"We're working towards the Irish Champion Hurdle with him on the 29th and hopefully he'll get there."

Eh ... WTF Willie!

^ ignore that, I was talking through my arse

Just seen the gallop on RTE news. How did RTE know he was going to be there at Lepoardstown? They must be doing a docu on him or something.

Seems Silent Willie told a lot of people http://www.facebook.com/TheIrishField

Anyone know who the 3 stablemates were?

Florida pearl snowy morning and hedgehunter!

I heard it was Wither Or Which, Tourist Attraction & Alexander Banquet

Someone said it was(and they where serious)  A thousand Stars.

Ruby rode another 'nice horse'. I wonder what that was?

Forget about the other three horses, does anybody know who any of the celebs in the channel 5 big brother house are? Far more important!!!

On twitter people are saying ruby was on so young but i doubt it was.

Judging by the star on Ruby's horses head I would be 99% certain that it's so young

Cousin Vinny, so young and Scotsirish out the back i believe or should i say according to someone on the net.

I read it was Frankel, St Nicholas Abbey, & Nijinski!

Definitely not Scotsirish anyway

Wonder if Zaidpour was one of them ???

Just noting WPM's 5 entries for the BHP Insurance Irish Champion H'dle
