    She’s been fragile for years, and whatever your thoughts on the quality of the race, just getting her there six years in a row is a might achievement. That might sound trite and overblown, but just look at these who are taken out on the eve/morning of Festival races lame or otherwise stricken.

    Mullins gets her there six times and wins with her. My generation is on its way out, but you youngsters are highly unlikely to ever again witness what Mullins has achieved with this mare.

    You’re living in a historic era…enjoy it :)

    Each to their own, but I’d rather have watched peak Quevega v peak Big Bucks in the Stayers’ once, than 600 Mares Hurdles never mind 6.

    Winning 6 is a considerable achievemnet, but I have to agree with that, It’s also a pity Big Bucks always ducked Punchestown’s 3 miler
