peter.h. Why are you backing against Mullins so far out?

The Real Whacker’s entry reminds me of Silviniaco Conti (PU first circuit) or Holywell (F, 2nd) running in 2016, or Tea For Two running in 2019 (PU 29th).

Screams that they don’t know what to do with him after three pretty poor runs this season, so hope this test brings him back. Could you help me understand why you would bet on that happening? What’s your thinking there, please?

While I would have liked to see L’Homme Presse in the race, think this is a year too late and am relieved that the horse doesn’t go, as I would have foreseen another pulled up at the 28th after being outpaced once they have run three miles, and that would have been an unedifying end to his career.
