Absolutely gutted about shishkin there, he's a boy.
But i'm absolutely thrilled for gavin sheehan, paul nicholl's nearly ruined that lads reputation when he rode saint calvados in the king george, have that nicholls.
 
Couldn't have gone much worse for my anyepost bets today

My worries about giovinco running too soon were well founded, terrible race planning
Mirazur beat
Facile finished last
allaho beat

Glad I avoided the cantico and mighty Bandit hype

Only good results were Bunting and kala conti for my ante post bets

Fortunately I won a few quid race to race to more than soften the blow

Mullins just aren't running well at all are they? He's way off it currently.

Or he's just down to normal levels. The last few year's he's just over performed. Can't keep it going for ever. Might get some better value on the stable runners.

Yup one of those days

Had 2.5pts on farren glory at 7/2, fell when looking like bolting in

2.5pts @ 8/1 on shiskin from February who was in the process of winning the big race before tripping himself up

Thankfully kala conti @8.2, tahmuras 13/2 and Fontaine collonges saved my day and left me in front

But those vega, mirazur and giovinco bets all being virtually in the bin is tough to take

jono said similar 7 years ago .... Mullins on the decline

Maybe THIS is the start of Mullins reverting to 'the norm'







:congratulatory: .............. Come on?! What are you actually saying..... what's the logic? What is 'normal levels'? How many winners do you consider 'normal' for Willie?

Even your own counter point is that value is to be found in other Willie runners?


I apologise that I've had a lot of beer so have written it like a twat but I've tried to re-word it and unfortunately I am just a twat :hopelessness: - I do promise I mean it nicely, in the way that every time I see Jono I reference his post :p
 
Been using the ATR tracker for years with no problems but didnt get an email for todays runners. Anyone had the same problem today? (email would have come though yesterday)

Let's see how the following 3 days develop. We've just propelled Mullins to a certain level and expect him to maintain it, and are surprised if he doesn't.

Mullins was 2/20 yesterday. Admittedly 6 of those beaten were at a double figure price but, half of the 20 started as favourite and 8 got beaten. I have purposefully avoided his runners today and bet against them in places where I have felt justified. However, have seen and done this before and inevitably he comes storming back with a bagful of a winners!

After barry connell has waited months for better ground for marine nationale there's been an inch of rain overnight and the chase course is now soft

C'est la vie

He will probably win easily anyway as the others look modest and won't want to ruin their handicap marks
