    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Looks like the Rucker's have another expensive P2P recruit to run in 130 limited handicap hurdles with Evan Williams. Nice hobby!

    You were ahead of the game DG!
    Thirteen Punchestown Festival winners for thirteen owners says it all.
    Bet he is glad there is no owner there ;,the hand would have been shaken off him by now.
    I reckon as a part owner of his (2.5%of Jazzaway) I am probably entitled to say hello to him once every three years or so !

    Of the thirty highest rated chasers in Ireland, only Fakir D'oudairies is from outside the three big stables, and he is from the No 4 stable.

    He didn't dominate Cheltenham and that's the one that matters. His rivals haven't the fire power and HdB in particular clearly got all his horses at their peak for March hence his lack of success at both the DRF and this week.

    Henry won the Champion Hurdle, the QM and the Gold Cup. Willie won a lot of who gives a **** handicaps. He was not dominant

    What Mullins is doing is far more impressive and sustainable - to be top trainer at all three of the big festivals is phenomenal. He has literally 'peaked' for the best part of 3 months.

    By any sensible measure, he was not the top trainer at Cheltenham. If anything, he had a disappointing festival

    He only won one handicap fwiw! And I would say that every single trainer - particularly the home trainers would have been thrilled to win a **** handicap
