A decrease in the fall that has suffered his stable loss has allowed the state man to return home in great isolation and seek his third victory in the Irish champion in Leopardstown.
A significant event on the second day at the Dublin Racing Festival was charged as a direct shot between a duet of a trained Willie Mullins, with a loss, a marginal favorite at 8-11, after ending up behind a great hill of the Constitution in a Christmas obstacle in a ketton day.
State man (5-4) also appeared a little during the solemn period, ending the distant third behind the world, but Paul Townend kept his faith in the ruling champion, allowing Danny Mullins to first run from his Irish debut to loss from his Irish debut three Irish debut years ago.
From the flag-jella, the large two dominated, with a loss and a state man quickly built a huge advantage over the other three runners.
The decisive moment came to the back straight because Lossiemouth was still in a narrow lead when she made a bad mistake and fell four flights from home, almost demolishing the state man in the process.
Townend, however, kept an intact partnership, and the race was effective from there while the state man did home to beat another Mullline runner, Dad’s long leg, for six and a half lengths.
Mullins said, “Both jockers came out without instructions and I was happy to let them do what they wanted, riding their own horse and their own race.
“They set it up as a hell of a race. What happened was disappointing to Rich (Ricci, Lossiemouth owner), disappointing to the public and disappointing to all of us. It was just one of those things, and Paul said had is happiness not to knock him down.
“Paul was happier that the state man returned to himself. He does just what he has to do, and he only wins the length or two when he is right.
“Paul never mingled from him. There was never a question that the horse would drive today.”
The prospects for the state man to win the second obstacle of Cheltenham champions are pruned to 7-1 from 8-1, and Lossiemouth thrown a little to 4-1 from 11-4. Former champion Hill Constitution is a 4-7 favorite who returned his crown.
Lossiemouth moved away from her output, and as her rider gently holding his hand in the immediate side, he drove in the next race.
From Lossiemouth, her coach said, “When she won Hatton’s mercy in Fairyhouse, she ran a four-kilometer pace and we always put her behind because she was so eager.
“She was raised to be faster than a state man, but in a Christmas obstacle she was simply not used to such a fast pace to go around Kempton. I didn’t think it was anything with Zest, it was just to do with the way we taught her in run.
“I didn’t talk to Rich, but our plan has always been to go to the champion obstacle and unless they change my heart, I’m happy that he can still go to the champion.”
Kopek des Bordes Rules Supreme in Leopardstown
Kopek des Bordes is rocketry with the favor of stopping the supreme novices in extending undefeated run to three with a win without effort in Tattersalls Ireland’s obstacle in Leopardstown.
The winner of the Fairyhouse veterans last season, Kopek des Bredes opened his account with the obstacle by winning this track during Christmas, and despite the fact that the fog interfered with watching that day, Punteri were sure that the five -year -old had announced running in his eyes.
The charge of Willie Mullins was sent with 4-5 leaders on the market on the back of it, and while Mount Paul Townend slightly disturbed the loose horse on the run in the house, the result was never doubtful.
He jumped the last well -cleaned of the field and inserted 13 lengths on the eve of the stable Karniquet, and the British Raider Warren Greatrex Good and smart claimed the honorable third at first grade level.
The Kopek des Bordes was reduced to 7-4 with 12-1 with some companies for supreme in Cheltenham next month, while others go 6-4 about his chances.
Mullins said, “The horse was very willing and free all the way, but Paul just let him go to his obstacles and jumped much better than Christmas. We have been educating a lot with him since the last day.
“He put him in a nice position, and then a loose horse came and I knew what was going to happen, it made him angry because Paul usually didn’t go to three furlong. A loose horse then went wide in the second longtime and Paul was him He had to return, but he still put a big jump on it.
“It was a huge performance. We thought he was good enough to win a bumper and win his obstacles, but you never know if the horse is good. They are the first grade material and very few horses show you at home. They don’t show me anyway , I don’t ask them so many questions and let them show them at the racetrack.
“This guy was a wonderful horse on sale, he didn’t walk the way you would probably want to walk, but with his generator, age, scope and greatness of him, we took the opportunity on him.
“I see no need to go on a trip because he will need a very fast pace in races.”
Ballyburn on top with a leopardstown verdict
Ballyburn declined from an emphasized Christmas reverse on the hands of cheese Gino with a determined victory in Ladbrokes’s new chase in Leopardstown.
Last season of the triple class, Ballyburn, Ballyburn in November made a good start to his career over fences in Punchorstown, but was not coincident with the furious cheese Gino in the chase after Novi Novi Novi in Kempton during the festive period.
Again on the trip, Ballyburn was a 8-13 favorite to land in the first grade competition, and his coach Willie Mullins has been agriculturally processed in recent years, with Faugheen (2020), Galopin Des Champs (2022) and last year’s Victor fact Among them on the reel of honor.
After sitting in the skating of Kiely’s seal champion for most of the competition in two kilometers-Pet-Furlong, Ballyburn took over after jumping another fence from the house and seemed decisively to win after cruising around the house in front.
But Croke Park – a shot of 11-1, although he is already a double grade winner over fences – he held a market leader sincere until straight before Mount Paul Townend found more on running to pull five lengths. Impaire et Passe was an additional five and a half length behind the third.
Mullins said, “I never lost faith, Kempton was just a little sharp for him, and I suppose Kempton also lit him, so he was quite lit with Paul today.
“I think he eventually placed him and was afraid to move to him, then if he flew again, so he didn’t only race after the last and did what he usually did – he just accelerated from the last home.
“He looks decent horse and I loved what he did from the last to the line. Once Paul had to ask him, he flew.
“He was grown to get three miles and it is fascinating that he could do what he had done to two miles and everyone collapsed him like two miles, but looking at his site, you would have to think that he wanted a trip.
“I thought his jumping had improved today, next that pace today through that trip, it will be easier for him.”
Super Sostness Tage Another Large Loopardstown Prize
Solyss proved that his sudden Christmas success was fluke with a top first win in Ladbrokes Dublin Chase in Leopardstown.
Joseph O’Brien’s charge was a shock winner 28-1 at the first grade level during the festive period, beating the re-Paro of the Gaelic Warriors and Marina Nationale.
The Gaelic Warrior was a 6-4 favorite who turned the tables just over five weeks later, but Solnelness again became a winning under the inspired ride of Danny Mullins.
Sented straight to the off -off leadership, Soliness built a significant advantage that the race down the back was straight and it was clear that the package of the chase would fight to beat the gap.
Since the Gaul warrior who never threatened to get seriously, Marine National appeared as the biggest threat to Solnessa right, but O’Brien found a lot of running under the power of Mullins’ ride to see him with two lengths.
The Gaelic Warrior laged 12 lengths in third place, and his stable El Fabiolo is an early fall.
The companies reduced Solless to 10-1 with 25-1 for the champion of the Queen of Mother Chase in Cheltenham, and the favorite of Ante-Post Jonbon also cut to 4-5 from Evens.
