Nobody takes any notice of the gobshiite......you'd swear murtagh won the derby the way the ghoul is going on.....two Bellewstown type handicaps run at Naas.....brings his total to 5 individual winners for the season.....these types of races are hardly season defining ones......he has to train a winner at some stage.....he has trained one less winner than Pat Flynn and one more than Tom McCourt this year....but then again the gobshee wouldn't be aware of such little details.....

Paulie , every stable goes through lean times , remember a certain APOB , having a shocking run recently , Harry Rogers also , and a few others ..So this year hasn't been great so far , everyone knew that was going to be the case after the incredible start they had last year ..Different ways been tried , Johnny now has more time to spend with the horses etc ..

Wonks.....a trainer is inevitably going to have a bad run if they are using jockeys who are not up to the mark.....and when the good times come then that trainer wont win as many as he/she should.....the jockey is a huge factor.....one which many here fail to realise.....
Part of the reason that murtagh isn't having winners is because hes not riding the horses himself.... |

The decline in Johnny Murtaghs fortune and the upsurge in Tony Martins could be related.
|
|
By:
Has nothing to do with either. Id say Carmody barely set foot in Murtgah's stable.
As for Martins fortunes. He has got a few well handicapped horses from Newton Anner stud who were well handicapped before they entered Martins stable. |

Paulie , Johnny is very loyal , not only to his jockeys , of course he would like to have a top class jockey riding for him , but tell me where would he get one that hasn't already got a top job in Ireland ..There is only a very small pool of really good jocks to go round ..Johnny will cut the mustard of that I have no doubt...

Loyalty will get you very little success at the top.

More egg on the face for paulie. He must have a head like an omelette

That brilliant timing kicking in again.
Here's hoping his next thread is Wilddan Hasn't Backed A Winner In Ages |

Sad to see people at home pressing refresh waiting for someone's mistake. Says more about them than the person they are discussing imho

Delighted for Johnny..

he's not that dopey our Johnny.....

Form is temporary, class is permanent. Ross Coakley did the job well. Where is Wally paulnuts? He must be playing Hide and Seek?

What an audacious coup from Murtagh to land that valuable Southwell prize alright.
Paulie must feel like a proper idiot. |
|
By:
No bet but wonder how he will get on with one of Barney's "coup" horses in the 5.15.
|

By:
Very well punted beforehand 7.4-4.0 roughly.

Well done Johnny , always knew you would prove the knockers wrong....

Correct workrider. Where is paulie wallnuts and snap noow? What do you xpect from a pair of dunces?

Mark Prescott spent 3 years getting Pallasator ready for the Ebor and didn't realise he had the winner in his stable all the time.
Mutual Regard was transferred from Prescotts to Johnny's who improved the horse by 14 lbs and it goes and wins the Ebor. In all fairness that is a fair training achievement. As Distant View might say. "What an audacious coup from Murtagh to land that valuable York prize alright Paulie must feel like a proper idiot." |

Mark , would not be a happy bunny this morning indeed The Gotchee...
|
|
By:
Gobshee.....the ebor is a glorified jumps race.....3 of the last 6 winners were trained by jumps trainers.....rod millman les eyre jane chapple hyam trained the winner of the ebor......
|
|
By:
Wally, if you can't accept that is was an excellent training performance( to improve the horse 14 lbs) you are a bigger t wat than I thought you are.
|
|
By:
Gobshee.....the most important thing he did right was recognising that the duds that he uses as riders wouldn't be up to the mark for any kind of a decent race.......
|
|
By:
The richest Handicap in Europe , fair play to him , just accept he did a fantastic job with the horse , Many a jumps trainer wouldn't win that amount in a year ...Spoke to him today and he was as modest as ever...

 button-holing again. No shame. |

By:
Hope you are not going to ruin another thread ...

By:
Your ignorance knows no bounds, wally. Ross Coakley was supposed to ride the horse but he was suspended. Go to bed ya CLOWN.

He is only 7 winners behind last year, but this has been a disappointing year when the material should be ever improving.
1 two year old winner from 32 runs is certainly not inspiring. |
|
By:
What's the story with Tinkler? Hardly ever see his silks on Irish tracks any more. That must be a big blow to Murtagh.
|
|
By:
He seems to have really downsized again.
Started off with Dods I think about 9-10 years ago and then had horses with Hannon, Stoute a few other and Murtagh. They seem to be back with Dods for the most part now although there are not as many of them. The 4 that ran for Murtagh this year are all gone now and either with Dods or Fahey. |
