    I usually don't leave comments, but having viewed some of the negative remarks I felt compelled to respond. Firstly Mr. Mullins is a Trainer and his job is to bring each horse in his care to the peak of its potential, a task he achieves like few other Trainers, year in and year out.Even as a micro punter I recognize that when Mr. Mullins speaks he shares insights that are never shared by other trainers. I have listened to other trainers in interviews and they really say nothing that enlightens the listener. I only wish he would write a book about horse racing, but until that day comes I would like to thank him here for sharing his insights about his horses , pedigrees and the demands of various tracks as it is a joy to learn from him and I would like to congratulate him on his win in the King George and I did have a few pence on the winner, for thanks to Mr. Mullins I saw the possibility, but it would be foolish of me to expect Mr. Mullins to tell me which horse to back.I'm just glad that he shares his insights and if the punter pays attention he might just spot the day's possibility.

    Totally agree with all the comments about Mullins not being a man to trust. I wonder how many punters have put Appreciate It in bets all the while the stable knows it’s not running in the Arkle or over fences. It took the entries over the festive season and question to be asked by journalists for this to come out. Last year it was Bennie Des Dieux and there have been countless others. Strange Mullins seems to cop little of the flak that the likes of Nicky Henderson gets - even though some of that is deserved. A stop needs to be put to gambling companies sponsoring jockeys and trainers.

    They're all tries once they get to the track that's for sure, WM horses run on merit, it's just that he has 150 very good horses and when they compete against each other the outcome is not as definite as the bookmakers odds show.

    • @stephenstretton336
      @stephenstretton336 2 года назад

      Exactly it's hard to judge where to put horses when you have a big a yard as Mullins so many horses for so many races but alot of his Christmas ones ran where they should but alot of his end up injured so no wonder they get pulled out of future races that's horse racing for ye like if your horse runs a crap tingle creek then you probably would change your mind about the champion chase against the possible best 2 mile-2m4 horse in shiskin not saying he had one just using a example the tingle creek and desert orchid would be trails for it totally agree with your point energomene and shiskin will probably face off in the champion chase if all goes to plan but they won't risk a great horse if they get a bump are the ground doesn't suit them horse well fare at the end of the day is the main thing

  • @JSB-IZ-ME

    Asterion Forlonge very unlucky with his jumping, one day it will all click. The “We may have something else” for the King George must have been Tornado Flyer and what a something else that turned out to be. Quite obviously not as much of a surprise in the King George for the Mullins stable than for everyone else. Been a follower of Saint Calvados since he was a novice and the race he gave first time out he will surely put it together for Paul Nicholls and win a decent prize this season.
