A cracking Sunday winner from Highflying at 10/1, and an 11/1 place for Robichaux: well done. If I've left anyone out, I apologise; please leave a message on this thread and I'll update.
Do you think Townend is under serious pressure at Closutton? Unlike Mullins to criticise him so publicly after Lossiemouth, and again today after a poor ride on Facile Vega. His confidence will be shot going into Cheltenham - which Willie will know. I wonder if Danny might be about to step up to number one?
NAP 7.00 Wolverhampton - Rumnotred
Good luck to Ella Pickard with her horse Bullets Hill in the Carlisle bumper. Ella has had three winners from not many runners as she tries to rebuild her training career. You may remember her good horse Getaweaopon back in 2020 who was being primed for the satying handicap hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Then the owner took the horse away for some reason and sent him to Skeltons. He hasn't got his head in front in three runs since. It's a long way up to Carlisle from her Devon base but the track should suit Bullets Hill, one of three carrying a winner's penalty.
Lovely. Who’s in the box wins at 14/1.
I was on at 25s.
You have to wonder if Jamie Moore's mount Auriferous (Fontwell 3.30) was momentarily blinded by the sun angling through the trees to his right when he fell. He had quite a high head carriage and didn't seem to take off at the flight at all. It was sickening sight. I hope Jamie is OK. The Moores have had enough of bad falls to last a lifetime.
Kilbeg King won at evens.
Patient owner 4.15C.

Do Deputies ever do well?
Why is Ruby Walsh still at Closutton?
What advice does he offer to PT?
Why is SAF still at the Glazer Club?
Maybe the Liverpool Boot Room worked for a 15 year period.
W. Mullins must have Grand-Nephews and Grand-Nieces as they breed like Rabbits and they might become first Jockey in time. In the interim work around the Surname Muĺlins not Townend.
The interview wasn't on a Gosden Level in terms of devolving responsibility to Dettori and Gosden is a a repeat offender but still...
My nap today is at Carlisle. 15.45. Malpas.
Named after a one club Dundee Utd Left Back called Maurice Malpas. A Man who earned 55 caps for Scotland.
A swashbuckling left back when you were allowed to swashbuckle before all that Lobanovksy/Guadiola boring stuff.
Visibility 19:00 Wolves Nap……..this is now a straight nap as the price has come in from 11s to 7/1
Kitbeg King - font 14.30
Off soon for another afternoon at Fontwell (much more of this and I might really get into the sport!). Hoping to see Unit Sixtyfour win again but not so confident today as he’s carrying a welter burden.
It’s about 6 weeks too early but today’s selection is Paddy’s Day in the 18.30 at Wolverhampton.
Ew nap. Who's in the box. Carlisle 4.15.
Malpas - 15.45 Carlisle
Pawpaw 1.55 Fontwell is the nap,well done yesterdays winners.
It's looked to me like Paul T is a safe pair of hands, not a shining weekend but shorties get turned over all the time and he's brung plenty home recently.
Be surprised if he's jocked off anything in March..
