    Just thinking about this today. There must be a large number of horses that interviewers would never ask trainers about, and I always find that interviewers constantly ask trainers about the same horses. For example Willie Mullins must be sick to the teeth of answering the same questions about Faugheen, douvan etc, and to be honest im beginning to get fed up of hearing interviewers ask about those horses. So as a mullins fan id like to know does anyone know anything about the following horses who have showed promise last year but haven’t been heard of since…
    analifet
    livelovelaugh
    bordini
    Lyrical theatre
    Adrianna des mottes

    Has anyone any horses in this category that they never get the opportunity to get an update on?

    I’ll add TURCAGUA to that list TWM, I had him in my ten to follow, expecting great things,
    but I would have had more chance of spotting Lord Lucan.

    No update as to why he hasn’t run, but having just checked him again, I see he now has an
    entry in The Champion Bumper at The Festival.

    Adriana Des Mottes was sold as a broodmare, could be possible the other mares on the list were also retired to stud. Pretty sure Turcagua was entered up a few times this season.

    He was indeed entered a few times Tommy, but never appeared. I kept looking for any update
    as to why he was later withdrawn, but found none. Nothing was ever mentioned on Willie
    Mullin’s site. Willie plays it so close to his chest he would have given Philby and Burgess
    a run for their money.

    Milsean is another. Close second in the Albert Bartlett. No sign or sound since.

    Asked Eddie O Leary at Clonmel 2 weeks ago about plans for Milsean, ” a long summer on grass, has picked up a leg and out until next season, has been at home since Cheltenham last year”

    Thanks AKP, I had also been wondering about Across The Bay. Have now found a link about his retirement, and also a link reporting the retirements of Hey Big Spender and another old favourite Oiseau De Nuit. It seems local newspapers are often better at reporting things like this than the national racing press!

    Western Warhorse I believe is still being slowly nursed back from his injury after his Aintree run, the tendon is taking longer to heal, but is on the mend.

    Charingworth has probably been retired now at the age of 13, likewise with Carruthers who is also 13, believe Sarah now trains him

    Thanks for the replies. I have tracked some information about Carruthers down now – he came 8th in his pointing debut at Larkhill on 23/1 :-)

    After the Kingwell last week I wondered why we hadn’t seen last year’s winner Blue Heron this season :unsure:
