6.40. Punchestown. Charity race. Prize money for winner. 60 Euros. 25 runners. Mullins runners? Nil. Zero. Zilch. **** all. Prick Nada. At least Elliott mustered 4 for the cause. All the other big stables represented. Hang your head in shame Mullins. If he was 30 Euros behind Elliott he'd have mustered 24 horses. Faugheen would have been entered!!!
I'm trying to find out how the charity part of the race actually works. To no avail. Can anyone shed any light on this? The winner, rated 35, returned at 909/1 on Betfair.
Not a bad end top the day I suppose. One of my little e/w patents came in. All on skybet so BOG. 5p e/w patent at Wolves My Fantasea 4/1 Stage Name 4/1 (finished at 12/1) Beatbybeatbybeat 13/2 (finished at 16/1) Time like this I wish I had had a bigger stake on it. Still, I can't complain. A healthy profit at the end of the day. I should have had my money on Beatbybeatbybeat on the punter of the year competition.
Don't like the way this operation runs itself as I have mentioned on here before. Might be a high class trainer but the way they do things leaves a sour taste at times..
