Dr. Eggman has been very expensive to follow, however there is nothing in the race that could trouble him.
I wonder if Townend has ever ridden at Perth. It’s a pretty tricky track for horses and jockeys.Dr. Eggman, once again a solid odds-on third. Excellent ride by Ella Herbison, saved my the reverse forecast.
I kind of like the Perth results so far…. Nothing wrong with short odds-on favs being turned over. Always see the positive of such racecards.
Some achievement to be able to follow in the footseps of Vincent O’Brien. A great achievement and I hope they enjoy the party.
Congratulations to Willie Mullins and his team.
A great achievement.Value Is EverythingYou couldn’t ask for more. They were dominating at Cheltenham, Aintree, Ayr and Sandown. There can’t be any doubts or arguments about him winning the Championship.
Well done to him and his entire team!
tbh I don’t think ANY trainer should win the Season’s Trainer’s Championship with so few winners, over so short a time frame ERL.
But to do so was a great achievement none the less, so we should salute him for doing so.
Value Is EverythingMark, if Nicholls or Hendo would have won the same amount of big races at the four above mentioned meetings no one would have bothered.
They have in previous seasons, ERL.
There’s been talk of whether the Trainers Title should be changed to reflect the number of winners – in a similar way to jockeys – for a decade or more now. I seem to remember threads on TRF about it.
Value Is EverythingWhile I won’t begrudge Willie Mullins a well earned achievement and there’s no doubt he’s one of the best if not the best NH trainer currently.However I do think it’s easier to succeed with a stable packed full of good horses funded by rich owners where as a stable with horses of lesser ability to my mind should receive as much praise if not more for being able to get into the winners enclosure on a regular basis with maybe someone else’s cast offs and without anything like the same purchasing power when at the sales.These people are the ‘bread & butter’ of racing and deserve to be acknowledged for the superb job they do while spending most of their time very much in the shade.
good luck to allIf he goes all out to win everything next year to retain his title that’s me done with racing. I can’t watch smaller yards missing out in the handicaps that are their bread and butter because someone has so much firepower.
Never mind best nh trainer , you could argue he’s the best racehorse trainer in the world just now , I don’t begrudge him any of it as he’s worked very hard to get there
Mullins had the winner of the first race at Fontwell yesterday, landing odds of 1/9. It is not normally Mullins’s style to have runners at these sort of meetings.
Interviewed before the race, Patrick Mullins indicated he would like to ride at a few more British tracks.
A small sign Mullins may be having more runners in Britain in future and wants to defend the title?
The winning prize money yesterday was £4066.00. I have no idea how much it costs to get a horse, jockey and stable staff from Closutton to Fontwell but, if it is financially viable, there’s nothing to stop WPM mopping up bumpers and novice hurdles all over the UK this season.
