    " He made the crippled walk again"
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Is he a certainty to get back on him for Cheltenham? After Kennedy riding him for all 3 of his chase runs?

    Given Jacks’s bad luck injury wise there’s probably more chance of Davy being at Cheltenham. Hope I’m wrong though. Have watched the lads career closely ever since Labaik.

    but we have a horse that could be one of the best in 40 years OR NOT so you can't blame him

    Harry Skelton not going to be on Prolitologue this weekend or the champion chase.

    Harry Cobden takes over.

    Owners wanted a commitment that he would be riding Prolitologue rather than nube negra in the champion

    Best of luck Davy, but look after yourself. From now on your many followers are going to be anxious every time you have a fall.

    I was sorry to hear the news about David Mullins, I think he's a fine jockey. He got on very well with our Getaway Gorgeous the day she won at Punchestown, and I was hoping he might get the chance to ride her again some day. He's already achieved a great deal and I hope he finds the path that's best for him.

    The handsome-est of all the Mullinses too.

    And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."

    At least we no longer have the confusion over which D Mullins listed on the card is Danny vs David!!!

    “I initially thought he meant he was finished for the day, but then it dawned on me that he was retiring.”
    Blackbow must take it out of you

    Hollie Doyle has just ridden five winners in a row and has a good chance of a sixth in the last, at Kempton

    Is she that good? I dont watch the flat so honestly couldn’t tell you. You just see her plastered everywhere.

    Riding 5 winners in a row is a fantastic feat in itself though, so hope my question doesn’t suggest Im trying to take away from that.

    She's good, and she's ridimg good horses, but wouldn't be the best judge of pace in the world (As SR indicates in his ATR sectional piece). That finesse may develop in time, but - at the moment - you couldn't bank on it.

    She seems to be best at conjuring a run out of nowhere without giving the horse a hard time. Maybe she sweet talks them into it
