When are the Moscow Flyer entries out?

I know Willie waited until Jan 29th with Melon big time is beginning to tick
 
When is the Moscow flyer? I thought it was this weekend coming?

Was it not that date last year?

I'm nots sure if those who mentioned the Moscow flyer for fly smart have heard something along them lines. Or are optimistic as it's in January.

But iv never seen them throw one straight in there. Likely standard maiden for him.

You could argue, looking at mullins December record in recent years, the yard is really starting to tick from January on.

Has went from having like a 40% record in december in years, to now where its like mid teens.

If its this sunday, entries will be out tomorrow noon.
That’s correct. It’s this Sunday. Fly Smart would no doubt be shorter on the machine if the plan was to run him in the Moscow Flyer FTO imo.
 
There's a nice 2m maiden on the same card won by Vision D'honneur last year. Mullins had Elixir D'Ainay in the race.
 
Be a bold statement if they did though

It would be encouraging just to see him entered.
Something Willie might do, to see what the competition would be like.
It's likely to be a bit weaker going forward due to the Dublin festival.

Good shout. That would be the one imo.
Let's not forget theres not only fly smart too.
 
Unexcepted cut again by the main powers (in relation to the yard), that's two cuts in a short space of time.
 
Scooby, have you read or heard anything about Lucky One racing any time soon??

Nope. For all i know be could be entered this weekend.
I'd hope either him, fly smart or figaroc. Will be out in the next couple of weeks.

Should be one of them this weekend theoretically with a 3 week gap to the DRF.
 
Money for Unexcepted. Into 16's with Betfair/Paddy Power.
 
Cheers Scooby, I’ve been keeping an eye for Lucky One and Fly Smart too but no joy. On Will Hill radio yesterday they were chatting about the form of Willie Mullins horses and mentioned the way some of his horses are running or ‘not running’ maybe down to a virus at the stable. Whilst it’s common for Mullins horses to start and progress later than many other of the big stables this Christmas has been a bit uncharacteristic in terms of how some horses are pulling up or not seeing races out. The pundits may just have been filling the time and hypothesising but have any members heard anything about the well being of the horses at Mullins yard??

That's nonsense I wouldnt listen to that. We Get the same rubbish every year. He trains them to peak in March.

On fly smart Etc....
I'm sure anyone who backed rayapour and asterion forlonge and is impatient, would be saying the same thing. He knows what hes doing. Theres plenty of time left, but anything you've backed wants to be entered up by the 1st week in feb. If its not then you can panic.

This. Truly believe xmas is becoming too early for mr mullins nowadays for a lot of his novices etc.
