I think Mullins is a great trainer, but he has lost his marbles. Cheltenham has a duty to provide safe ground, which is what they did. Provided the ground is safe, no racecourse should water to suit a particular trainer. There are plenty of horses who want good or good to soft ground and they should be given a chance if that’s the way the weather falls. It was clear that an interviewer put JP McManus under pressure and he felt obliged to support his trainer. But there was no conviction there.
Hopefully, in the light of day, Mullins will apologise for his outburst, Otherwise, he will have done a lot of damage to his reputation.
