That does seem like an awful lot of horses, I know he has a big yard but it does always seem like he gets more injuries than any other trainer. Probably uses the same medical team as Liverpool....

I wonder do a lot of the horses at closutton have asthma. Get the inhalers out

Gallops of Closutton claim another..

Minella Cocooner, The Nice Guy, Ferny Hollow, Capodanno, Sir Gerhard, James Gate, Redemption Day, No Risk No Fun, Tornado Flyer… Classic Getaway..? Allaho..?

Mullins injury list is an absolute 5 star stable team.

trainers would kill to have just one of them.

never mind train all 11 and have them wrote off

I really hope you are wrong... but annoyingly think you could be right! Or more annoyingly skip Chelt and win and Punchestown.

I'm really warming to him in what looks to be a weak division. Don't get me wrong Flooring Porter be a bigger win for me, but I also have a good bit on KD too. FP is the reigning Champ, just think others have caught on to Danny's tactics on him, and will need to be inch perfect on him to get the 3 in a row!
 
As much as I hate to say it, ADV in the BANC would be a major player with the mares allowance.

I agree but think you can rest easy. It might be tempting but Willie religiously goes for the easiest most winnable race. No question thats against her own sex on the Friday.

He does, but they've mentioned that they wouldn't be afraid of taking on the boys, and the BANC looks extremely weak at this stage.

7/1 NRNB is much bigger than she'd be on the day, if lining up.

I think 'open' is fairer than 'extremely weak. Yes, there is no clearcut super star, but looking at the top of the market:

Gerri is a G1 winner, unbeaten and unexposed over 3m.
GDM has finally won a G1 over 3m looking pretty good without looking spectacular.
JDB, who ran a blinder behind KD over 3m over hurdles has just run to a debut RPR of 155 and could easily improve into the 160's for a step up in trip.
Thyme Hill won a criminally weak G1, but still ran to an RPR of 160. Same can be said about The Real Whacker - don't fancy either, but many do.
Classic Getaway looks pretty useful and Willie has quite a few that could step up in trip and unlock improvement.

Feels open. Love markets like this.

Seems to be various horses greyed out on Bet365 today, Flooring Porter being one. Not sure if adjusting markets or up to something else.
 
My first Cheltenham in 60 years where I have no interest betting wise, normally by this time I would be in 2k deep and building towards the big day, I was never a on the day player feeling the juice had all been sucked out, my pal offered to help me get on with his few remaining accounts but I would not dream of damaging his hobby.
I still love my racing and follow it religously as ever but I don't get that jumping the last feeling anymore even though I may not have an interest in that particular race, but, it was with an eye to the future that you had regards to future bets watching a race, now its just my sporting instincts that keep me interested and my love of the animals.
Good luck all and enjoy the betting side whilst it lasts.

It's the Festival entries for the Champion Hurdle, Mares Hurdle and Stayers Hurdle today so would assume that.

A couple of mildly interesting horses in an otherwise drab day. Certainly not suggesting to back either but it'll be interesting to see if a wind op and tongue tie help Joe Dadancer show what the markets expected last time out today at Donny and Willmount in the Donny bumper is fairly well regarded in a few of the numerous books.
 
With Jack out, Im wondering if Davy could be persuaded to come out of retirement for 4 days in March...

He's one I'm looking forward to as well :encouragement:

Yes. He and Out Of Office were two of the better pointers that ended up with UK trainers outside the main players.

It looks as weak as pi$$ to me at this stage. GDM is favourite and he got spanked in it last season.
