The shocking performance from Mourad

Horse runs poorly after 569 days break shocker. Ruthlessly exposed on irish forum.

A new low for the Greasy one.

horse was 5/2 2nd fav runs like it should've went off at 66/1, a horse won today that was 700 plus days off the track and another was 500 plus off?.

Hard to get them fit Willie when crap trainers seem to have no problem?

Have to agree Silvergreaser , shocking run from him today , no matter what , i was having dinner with some friends during the race , and felt it would be impolite to get up and go to the paddock , so am at a loss as to its fitness ..The run was to bad to be true if this fellow was anyway near fit ..Maybe he has not come back as good as he was...The Stewards should have called Willie in and asked for an explanation , out of common courtesy to punters...

Mourad has won after a break before and also dead heated with jumbo rio on his debut over hurdles if i can remember correctly,
So the long break cannot be used as an excuse,i don't see the problem with silver questioning that performance.

Sorry was beat a sh by jumbo rio on debut but awarded the race in the stewards,knew it was close anyway!

workrider but its ok its Willie the untouchable, and Reynolds top guy at HRI/Turf Club has horses in training with him, the conflict of interest goes on and on and on as the media remain blissfully silent and the betting public just take it on the chin, because thats what they're suppose to dont you know?

Silvergreaser , hopefully something comes to light , as you rightly say , punters been treated shabbily once again , and the it seems once again  the big man has nothing to fear from the authorities ....

Dont tell me Greaser you backed him. A bad end to the year when you add that to your big punt on Our Conor. I told you before its very difficult for a biased man to make money backing horses.

what price would Mourad have been if Boston Bob wasnt in the race?

The winner was evens on here just before the race so no skullduggery can have been at play

lustrumm the skullduggery was the total unfitness of the horse, could barely lift its feet.

It is possible the horse couldbe one too lads, he is ex-Aga Khan and they have probably done well to get as much out of him as they have.

gone*

Mourad has had a season off and 1st run back on dreadful ground so its surely its not that suprising that they looked after him when he wasn't going to win. WPM should have been asked the question by the stewards though.

Close to the off Bostons price drifted and Mourads hardened. Perhaps he is gone. It may be unfair on the horse but I never saw him as a real genuine one but to be fair he ran at a high level - almost half his hurdle runs were in grade ones.

As the saying goes.......'They never come back'..........most of the time..

Heavy ground cannot be an excuse,The horse excels on it.

As with many of your theories there is little factual basis to back it up.You state that Mourad was too unfit to pick up its feet.If this were the case surely Boston Bob would have gone off 2/5 and Mourad 5/1.Instead the opposite happened and Boston Bob drifted with Mourad strong in the betting.
With workrider fancying Mourad and also being in attendance we surely would have heard how unfit he looked in the parade ring if that were the case.
On a slightly different note it is interesting that in your recent posts you have note commented on the performance of Hurricane Fly on Sunday...perhaps you might give us your considered opinion?One thing we can be sure of is that had he been beaten we would have heard you celebrating his defeat and probably stating that it was his first time meeting decent opposition!!

The Fly is a machine,End of story,The performance that always sticks out in my mind was his first Grade 1 at Leopardstown where he absolutely murdered Go Native with an absurd turn of foot,Go Native subsequently proved he was no mug!!

Spot on Cheltenham...
