    Just looked through the Irish bumper entries over the Xmas racing. Arcadian Emperor caught my eye, won his PTP, now trained by Mullins and owned by JP. The second Lisbane Park has since won over hurdles and finished forth behind Old Park Star at Cheltenham recently.
    20s boosted to 22’s.

    It’s only a game , he sweated badly yesterday but he’s got a engine and despite being Sat at the back he finished well , I reckon the Cheltenham hill is perfect for him

    Feel this race has been prone to some wild market swings in recent years. I remember Romeo Coolio starting 6/1 and going off 18/1 before finishing 2nd. Bill Joyce (Jonjo horse) backed in from 22/1 to 7/1 for some reason and finishing 15th. Hard to get too involved at this stage.

    Oh my word

    Won a 4 runner race at Navan that has been won by a few stars in the past. The 3rd went on to finish second to the third favourite for this and the mare in 3rd in that race was just beaten a short head in the 60K bumper at the DRF.

    Not often you see a horse win like he did at Navan, just looks something out of the ordinary every time i watch it back, especially given his win has a bit of substance to it now. No idea if it is the plan though, but a very exciting career ahead of him hopefully.

    Bar Mullins, Twister, with 20, has had most runners in the Bumper since 1997. Willie’s had 109.

    But it isn’t a game of numbers.

    Just like AOB on the flat: yes, you’ve won a million races, but you’ve run a billion horses to get there.

    No clue so I’ll go with a couple of Mullins outsiders ew

    Our Trigger 25-1
    The Wager 66-1

    Our Trigger has the 4yo stat to overcome but hopefully he’s as good as his brother.
    The Wager might be a big dossy boat who needs another mile and a few inches of rain, but his big stride might help and he has a good pilot.

    I’m expecting you could run this 10 times and have 10 different winners …

    Wilts. I had a last minute bet on Chicker when they said the going was now good and looking on oddschecker it said he’d won on good. Fergal used to do quite well at Cheltenham, too. It was worth a punt.

    He’s still waiting on a festival winner though
