Salsaretta is the horse from the usual connections. Yet to run in Ireland but had a small setback which seen her miss Christmas. Shes on course for the grade 3 mares race at the end of Jan at Fairyhouse that Limini won first time out on course to winning the mares novice.
No idea how good she is mind but had a small go on her at bigger prices just incase they’ve bought the right one again for this.

Nice one – Cheers.

I’ll see how she gets on at fairyhouse. Mullins’ best novice Mares usually get really well supported.

I remember liminis price on the day going from about 9/4 to 5/4 last year and never looked like getting beat.

Liked Dame De Compagnie antepost for Henderson in the years race but he ran poorly at Cheltenham which has dented my confidence somewhat.

Connections of salsaretta were under the mindset that they “wouldnt be worried taking on fayonagh” bold enough… given how good fayonagh was

[Middle_Of_March]

Blimey – that’s interesting. From everything I’ve heard on the mare, she certainly sounds the Mullins horse.

Could be a bet for this

[CharlesOlney]

I’m not sure it matters as Cap Soleil’s going to take that handily

[CharlesOlney]

Mind you, on Mr Mullins – does he have anything for the Bumper yet?

[ham]

Plenty for the bumper, the ricci horse is yet to appear also

Was bitterly disappointed with her recently, thought she looked impressive first run, not so keen anymore, i think apples shakira will run in the mares novice also, could be a decent race this hear

[Voleur]

Only the favourite. Hollowgraphic, Champion Bumper winner of 2018.. remember the name.

[Middle_Of_March]

Indeed. I said the same on the Champion Bumper thread.

Absolute monster of a horse. The comments from Patrick Mullins about the horse he’s most excited about and he said him just shows what they think of him.

As for the mares, Apples Shakira going here would be sore as I’m all over her for the triumph.

I’ gonna try and guess the number one Mullins horse (Ruby’s rides mainly) for the festival (all going well);

Supreme – Sharjah
Arkle – Footpad (Daryl Jacob)
Ultima – Acapella Bourgeois
Champion Hurdle – Faugheen (hopefully)
Mares Hurdle – Lets Dance
National Hunt Chase – Bacardys
Close Brothers – Al Boum Photo
Ballymore – Getabird
RSA – Rathvinden
Coral Cup – Bapaume
Champion Chase – Douvan (hopefully)
Champion Bumper – Hallowgraphic (Patrick Mullin’s ride)
JLT – Invitation Only
Ryan Air – Un De Sceaux
Stayers – Penhill
Mares Novice Hurdle – Mystic Theatre
Triumph – Stormy Ireland
County Hurdle – Merie Devie
Albert Bartlett – Next Destination
Gold Cup – Djakadam

Still some lovely potential rides still available for Townend;

Antey, Killultagh Vic, Melon, Yorkhill, Min, Total Recall, Bachasson, Bennie Des Dieux, Great Field

[thewexfordman]

Also Bamako Moriviere form is exceptional. Other horses, ballyward, battleford, black Hercules, demi sang, Wicklow brave

[Middle_Of_March]

If he makes the festival, he’s the JLT winner

[ham]

Bapaume will go stayers, ruby wont be on djakadam in the gc and townend wont be on great field either

[Middle_Of_March]

Who will Ruby be on in the gold cup? No other option than Djakadam is there?

[thewexfordman]

Killutagh Vic and Bachasson are two possibilities.

Total Recall and Acapella Bourgeois are both entered too but neither have a hope

[ham]

He will likely be on total recall,even though he isnt good enough, but if kilultagh vic bolts up in the kinloch brae or the red mills then i wouldnt be surprised to see him aboard, unless djakadam was to come out and win something well i think he will pass him up.

[Middle_Of_March]

Had forgotten about KV. You’d expect he rides him if he runs.

Didn’t even know Bachasson was a Mullins horse.
