    When did they film it would be the question

    Likely before Willie came out saying gaelic was going chasing

            Mullins stable tour was Wed/Thur last week ? I'd say it's very unlikely this video was filmed before that.
            Take the Champ Kiely, on the Mullins said the horse was injured and out for the season, Patrick Mullins is today quoted as saying not to forget about the horse.
            This is the most successful training operation in the history of the game but it sounds like an amateur outfit, which of course it isn't, so is it just a just of communication or something else ?
            I'd be interested to see if the 25/1 Stayers price gets a trim...

                They didn't know energumene was out so it will definitely have been filmed pre mullins stable tour

                  They really ought to state when it was filmed or reported on.
                  Would help their credibility and provide context.
                  Not a big ask to mention it (date and time) at the start of a podcast or article, would it ??
                  Bell ends.

                    Yeah big question with credibility, Patrick’s comments re Champ Kiely contradict his Dad’s comments below:

                    ‘Champ Kiely met with a setback out at grass this summer so is going to miss the first half of the season. I would imagine I'd just keep him hurdling and put off his novice chase campaign until next season’

                      Yeah, Patrick's article seems fluffy and very light on detail. It's probably a bit unfair to say it's a contradiction, but I can see why some would see it that way.
                      And who knows when Willie made the decision for him to miss the first half of the season ?
                      Some other trainers would possibly attempt to get them training again sooner, depending on the extent of the injury etc. Some would and could afford to be more cautious. No right or wrong either way unless going against vet's advice I suppose.

                        Ironically they were both filmed at the same time - the morning of 18th October. So Joe Chambers knew no earlier than we did. Quite remarkable.

                          I genuinely think Joe Chambers has very little input in to where the horses end up. He's no Frank Berry, put it that way.

                          He was Ricci's COO at Panmure Gordon and I think Ricci only employs him out of some sense of loyalty

                            Ha. That’s fair enough. But you’d think he’d know before you and I

                              Just goes to show, I guess.

                                …Mullins has ‘a feeling’ Sir G could end up here.
