19 winners at punchestown

Of course its not healthy long term but you cant have it both ways
Gordon usually wins several , gigginstown winding down anyways
Authorities shot themselves in the foot

Hope all 19 were thoroughly tested for various substances.

The lack of form for both the Foster and De Bromhead yards over the week cleared the way for Mullins
Jessie had a good week with 3 winners but were low profile races
Noel Meade salvaged a poor week with Jeff Kidder

Most of the Grade1s had multiple Mullins runners and without the 2 Nicholls winners the haul would have been even more impressive with Al boum and Billaway 2nd

Where Mullins shone was mopping up the handicaps particularly with iffy jumpers Asterion Forlonge and Brahma Bull
The 1-2 in the stayers wouldn't have been obvious this time last week

on the negative side, Sir Gerhard may not be as good as we thought
Monkfish probably needs soft ground to jump better in a rhythm
Appreciate missed out but hopefully only a minor issue

Sir Gerhard and Envoi Allen surely too bad to be true on the day,we know they are better than that.

It was just Willie's meeting,ever Asterion Forlonge remembered how to jump.
