What a wonderful w/end of Irish racing......

Good Morning.

what is the ground reported as in fairyhouse lads and what is the weather forecast please ?

Im 10 minutes drive away from fairyhouse john,cold morning with a bit of wind so wrap up well if your going out,fairyhouse is cold at the best of times,ground is soft,heavy in places,riding dead ground.

From the wonderful cryptic mouth of Willie Mullins;

Dogora (Paul) runs in the 4yo hurdle over 2 miles. He has done nothing wrong since joining us but this is a major rise in class. He is improving all the time and his recent homework has been good. He will handle this ground and we will find out today how good he is. We have two in the 2m 4f mares novice hurdle. There is only 1lb between them on official ratings and Patrick will probably put up a couple of pounds overweight on Tasitiocht. However, she is doing good work at home and it won’t be a surprise if she finishes in front of Glens Melody (Paul) today. However, with her weight allowance, Byerley Babe, could be the one to beat. Away We Go (Paul) goes for the 2m 4f handicap hurdle. He disappointed after starting off well for us. However the trip and light weight here will be to his advantage and he has each-way prospects. Prince De Beauchene (Paul) is in the Bobbyjo Chase over 3m 1f. He won this race last year but this is a much hotter renewal. He showed his wellbeing at Limerick at Christmas and we are hoping he can maintain that form. He will handle the ground and track. Marasonnien (Paul) goes for the 2m 5f beginners chase. This ground will be to his liking and the extra 2f will also suit. He has come on since his last run and we are expecting him to run a big race today. Wicklow Gold (Patrick) runs in the bumper. He made good improvement from his first to his second run and seems to have improved again since. He ran up against a hotpot at Navan but hopefully he might go one better here.

Soft (Heavy In Places) Overcast and cold

Good start , workrider . Might follow you for a few races .

I suppose you all lumped on Tasitiocht when Willie said it wouldn't be a surprise if she finished in front of Glens Melody today?.

did he say that ? wouldn t surprise me silver with that lot ... Ruby was on the morning line giving Dogora as his charity bet ... was weak as hell on here before the off

see my previous post dingle, he said this the other day,

We have two in the Boyne Hurdle over 2m 5f Thousand Stars (Ruby) has never raced here but will like the testing track. On ratings this looks like an ideal opportunity. On His Own (Paul) starts his Grand National campaign here and we are hoping for a good solid run.

and before Glens Melody's previous run,

We have two in the Listed Mares Novice Hurdle over 2m 2f. Zuzka (Ruby) won impressively here at Christmas and would only have to reproduce that form to win again today. Glens Melody (Paul) was third in that race and the experienced gained that day may help her to earn some black type here.
