Willie's Bumper Horses

[Lobos]

I’ve been tapping away at the 14’s any race for a while. He could go to any of 5 races so it’s a nice price, made a case for it a while ago, glad you like him too SW!

Might add him. Must admit I've not even looked at him. Who is the 14's Any Race with ? Could be my first Any Race bet this year !!!

14’s on WH, 12’s Skybet.

14’s on WH, 12’s Skybet.

Great thanks. Will do him with Hills for my seperate monthly betting syndicate. Agree that he could go anywhere so TWAR the way to go with him especially at that price.

Done. 2pts at 14/1 Dark Raven TWAR placed. Cheers OTL.

I'm thinking now he could be a Martin Pipe horse :eagerness:

I've already listed all his runners in all the races at the Festival for 10 years and all their seasonal runs pre-Fez.

I think I am going to have to go deeper than that, and maybe layer in prior year form to see where they were at, at this time of year, to see who fits the bill from this season.

Its more work, all manual, than I thought.

But my team, the "Foxes Never Quit", and neither do I.

One thing I've learned re the Coral Cup is that Willie has a pretty awful record, with a lot of "afterthought" runners in it.
I'm certainly less keen on his runners for that race already.

Saxon, I have stats of Willie Mullins runners in every race he’s won more than once 2010-2020, I’ve yet to update for 2021. Theyre just in excel and a little bit all-over-the-place as they were really only done for my own benefit/understanding, but if you think they’d be a help I would happily email you them over or upload them to a google drive or something.

Could be useful ToniC.

I have a lot of it written out already to write in to FJ .

It would be useful to see your spreadsheet though.

If you message me I can let you have my email contact details. :eagerness:

Adamantly chosen was impressive at Punchestown - the 4th runs favourite tonight in 8.15 Galway, to give us an indication on the form

Do we think that Nikini might be Willies bumper horse this year?

She won well on her last day beating 2nd by 12 lengths picking up really nicely in the finish. She was giving 7lb to second that day too.

She drifted before the off too so maybe she wasn’t fully wound up?

She will get all the allowance in the Cheltenham bumper, maybe she will be his one? :angel:

I wonder whether they might send Hubrisko there instead of The Supreme?? :uncomfortableness:

I don’t think they’ll do that.

They skipped a Juvenile campaign with him and kept him at home. They decided to send Ha’Dor down that route instead of Hubrisko. I think they will send him
straight over hurdles.

Just read the section on Jumpers to follow “remains an exciting prospect for novice hurdles this time around”. They also go on to talk about the fact that he will be more effective over the minimum trip.

Hope that helps :acne:

Trying to think of a French horse that Willie has sent to the Bumper. Looked at the last few years and all were Irish bred.
Most of the frenchies he sends straight over hurdles when he gets them

Sounds to me like a pacey horse they're looking to send novice hurdling.

TOTGs suggestion of Nikini isn't a bad shout, I watched her last win and requested odds on the back of that. I was quoted 25s.

Like the Tesco slogan says 'Every little helps' and it's good to get people's thoughts and opinions. I thought that Vautour had gone Bumper / Supreme route but having checked back this wasn't the case.
Maybe Grangeclare West is the one and it keeps the CPS legacy of Bumper winners alive (four in a row if this lad does it).

I agree. I think one of them will stay in bumpers. It’s a minefield at the moment as they’ve come out and pretty much said all 3 will be going over hurdles.

And with that I can now commence the start of Mullins Bingo…. Waheyyyyyy :excitement:nthego:

I wonder what the thinking will be behind which of the CPS horses is best suited to the Champion Bumper?? Classic Getaway is considered the best of the bunch by the owners but the poor record of the sire at the festival would make me think twice about backing him. Does anyone know of a Getaway progeny being victorious at the festival?? He has obviously had winners at Cheltenham but I can't recall a festival winner??

 

[ComplyOrDie]

Glowing Account is one I'm keeping a close eye out for when he's entered up. Though is a French Bred.

Classic Getaway couldn’t have looked less like a champion bumper horse on his last run.
