Embassy Gardens's price should be cheered, means more value elsewhere right?
50/1 shot winning the AB this year?

Maybe if they pushed other horses out when shortening embassy gardens but they don't do that usually

I'd be inclined to cash Jet Powered. Nicky in the RP Members Club Supreme piece tonight:

Jet Powered was disappointing at Newbury and he's just having a bit of a break, I'm not sure about him right now.

^ Final line hardly inspires confidence...

That means he's flying at home atm

WPM on FV:

Mullins told the Racing Post: "Facile Vega could easily step up in trip but I don't need to. Not at this stage. The way things are going he'll run in the Supreme and I'm very happy with that. He'll run at the Dublin Racing Festival over two miles next. Hopefully everything will go well there and we'll head on to the festival with him.

"I've been delighted with everything he has done since Christmas. You couldn't really compare him to any of my past novices at this stage. He's just himself and he does what he does. He's done nothing wrong so far anyway. He seems to be in very good shape ahead of Leopardstown."
 
All about the DRF isn't it. Most anticipated run from any horse there. Fascinating how it'll turn out. Still a slight chance he goes Ballymore I'd say. He'll definitely be left in both before final decs.
 
The only way he goes Ballymore is if he's beaten at the DRF. Probably better laying him at the DRF than backing him for the Ballymore, if you're expecting him to end up in the longer race at Cheltenham.

Dont think anyone expects him to end up in the longer race If he gets beat then I'm not sure he'd go at all. If he wins but scrapes home after looking beat/outpaced then I could see him stepping up. All very interesting stuff. A race not to be missed !!

It'll probably be a wank race.
I can only see High Definition turning up, and maybe a couple of other mullins horses like Dark Raven and il etait temps. Possibly inthepocket as well.

There's not a hope in hell that that happens but fair play. Nice to be different I guess.

Stone bruise on Sunday morning 12th March about 9am is the only hope I reckon.
And he'll be wearing woolly stockings anyway.

Of course there is. Been around too long to think otherwise.

There's the sniper in the Best Mate Stand that got Annie and Benie to contend with as well.

That a fair and firm, as much as you'll get, from Mullins.
Think we all expected a step up in trip at some point. Chasing next year then, cant imagine FV running in the stayers!! meh!!

Turners? BANC?... yup, thinking wayyyyy to far ahead
 
Three Card Brag done that well, maybe too well, for a handicap :hopelessness:
