rte saying JLT for AS. Patrick will like your proposal for VL

Ye, I suppose that would leave Willie free to send Don Poli for the 4 miler

[MrMcGoldrick]

Don Poli actually being shortened in the RSA by a few bookies, strange reaction

I think as our Conor said Cooper does not want to get off Don Poli. Mentioned him by name as one he was looking forward to on Irish tv just now.

New poster. Interested to see some of the chat regarding Valseur Lido/Don Poli. To my knowledge the Paddy Power odds on the Mullins horses are a good guide as to where they will be going and PP are now top price Don Poli for the 4 miler and worst price for the RSA/top price Valseur Lido.

I have heard it said Mullins decides rather than owners where his horses run - except with Gigginstown.

Interesting information Old Vic. It certainly seems that way. He said to Matt Chapman on ATR yesterday after racing that the RSA looked to be the race for VL but connections had different ideas.

I think that perception goes back to the Sir Des Champs novice chase campaign.

Sad to see Le Vent Dantan no longer with us

I would say there is aright tussle going on between Cooper and Patrick over Don Poli

I can see (and hope) Cooper wins this battle. A horse of Don Poli's class should not be running in the 4 miler. Gigginstown have got some other good shots at that race anyway (Wounded Warrior/Thunder And Roses). I guess in the eyes of Mullins the interests of his son come before the rest of the team.

Imo Mullins will place the horse in the race he thinks it has the best chance of winning.If he was to favour a ride for his son in general, then Patrick would have had loads more winners to his name by now on that theory.

I don't know I'm sure Ruby could have ridden a lot of these bumper horses that Patrick has ridden couldn't he? Plus my real point is he can be quite stubborn when he gets an idea in his head (I don't think having Un De Sceaux stood in his box at Closutton was his best chance of a Champion Hurdle last year).

Mullins is champion trainer for a reason and thats why his owners trust him to place their horses in the races that they have the best chance of winning.
