Stupid Questions

What do we expect from the Mullins horses this weekend? Do we think they will be short of fitness to the extent that it's really noticeable (e.g. he has very few winners) or just to the extent that he has less winners than we might expect based on form because his horses will improve through the season? I can't help but think there could be some really good opportunities to find some bigger priced winners against his favourites?

This shouldn’t be in the “stupid questions” thread as it isn’t one, it’s a valid point. I think the Skelton runners in particular will serve it up to the Mullins favs with ground and fitness on their side. That said the prices for his runners aren’t huge either.

They are 2 weeks behind according to Patrick so I'm expecting a couple of high profile flops

Il be looking to see how the likes of sir gerhard, kilcruit, ferny, appreciate it jump as much as whether they win

Some of them will surely come on massively for the run

Agree. Fully expecting several to come up short/Disappoint including a few big guns. Getting a run though is the most important thing. Hoping the weather is kind !
 
At this stage it may see a lot of non runners looking at the forecast. Next to no rain in Dublin forecast, some showers a couple of days for Cork but nothing torrential at present.

Unless plenty watering takes place we won’t see them all I wouldn’t have thought.

….I’m in North West & what we get, Dublin usually gets. There’s been very heavy rain here overnight & it’s still quite bad now, I expect some of that will have fallen on Ireland.

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines as you guys - hadn't thought of the jumping aspect, but it makes complete sense. Hopefully the weather gods have brought some wet weather to Ireland so we can enjoy a belter of a weekend's racing and maybe pick up the odd big(ger) priced winner if there's suitable opposition...

Good to hear Eggs, much needed for seasonal reappearances this weekend.

Best way to create a new online account, after a restricted account.

I'm restricted with Hills, not sure if I want to create another account and how easy it is, and if it's recommended?

Or is it best to leave it. Any help appreciated.

P.s I do miss those early hills prices!

They're quite hot at linking devices / IP addresses so if you do create another be aware of that otherwise it will be restricted fairly quickly
 
Is there a way I can easily see all previous race winners of a certain race?

The way I do it is google the race and look it up on Wikipedia...I’m sure there are many alternatives but I find this quick and easy
 
Yeah don't get much joy with that, unless festival race or historic race. I've found sporting life easiest but have to click each in race scroll down see previous winner and repeat until I'm satisfied.

Thought they maybe a easier way..

Irishracing.com is pretty good for this. Go to the cards section and find the race you want and they often list previous winners at the bottom of the page.
