Trainers Championship

[Gamebird]

Hope you have a good day. Give Energumene a kiss from me and apologies if spelt his name wrongly.

Spelt perfectly! Will do, he's a lovely chap.

Wish you well but still want DS to win the championship.

WM 10 runners in the gold cup - you'll be busy!

Hope all come home safely as despite watering I expect going will be quite quick.

 

[Andie02]

I will be there on Saturday. Fingers crossed it all goes as well as last year!

 

[bonny]

That was some race !

 

[Snowfilly]

All going nicely so far!

 

[bonny]

Hard to see it not going to Willie Mullins now …..everyth8ng rests on the next !

 

[Clodagh]

He’s in front now.

 

[Snowfilly]

Too much maths in my horse time!

But yes, I think it’s Mullins’ now.

Looking forward to watching Jonbon.

 

[Snowfilly]

Well well well I don’t expect that. That’s a huge shake up.

Wasn’t the jumping I’d expect from Jonbon at all.

 

[bonny]

Willie Mullins is just the best ….after a year off and he wins like that

 

[Clodagh]

Well well well I don’t expect that. That’s a huge shake up.

Wasn’t the jumping I’d expect from Jonbon at all.

I don’t think he liked Mark Walsh. Nico is the most perfect rider, even if he bogs tactics sometimes!

But Willie has got the most incredible firepower. And knows how to get the most out of them.

Gamebird will be hanging tomorrow

WM is very likeable as well, seems a real gentleman

 

[Snowfilly]

Ah hell that was horrible to see

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Another sickening leg break

 

[Errin Paddywack]

That really made me feel sick, that poor horse.

That really made me feel sick, that poor horse.

Which horse? I’m out so not watching

Dancing City

Had been following the results online and just thinking how exciting and that is just horrible.

 

[bonny]

What a days racing, I feel worn out and I’ve scarcely left my sofa !

I have been lucky enough to have met Mr Mullins on three occasions, because I work for the stud (Mrs MacKean) who bred Florida Pearl…and I can safely say he is an exceptionally nice person…..
I am delighted he has won championship again, but would have been just as delighted if not more if the Skelton family had won…

 

[jovan46]

I understand your point. If the Grand National affects the overall standings, it might be more logical to take them outside of the championship to avoid distorting the results. I think it would add to the integrity of all coaches, because then the tournament would reflect stability rather than one-off success in a big race.

 

[Parrotperson]

Didn’t it used to be done on winners? Wasn’t that fairer? ( or am I misremembering!)
