Lovely start over hurdles for Mozoltov

If you want an example of four to one on being a good price then check out the footage of Mozoltov's demolition of the opposition in the Students Day At Gowran Park Maiden Hurdle.

This fellow looked in a different league to the opposition on form and with second market choice, Clara Bel La never threatening to get near the long odds-on chance in third, it was left to 33/1 chance, Marjesjoh to chase home the winner at a distance of twenty four lengths.

Ever closing in on an amateur rider's record tally in a calendar year, Patrick Mullins was in the plate on Mozoltov and he made much of the running, hurdled fluently and it ultimately amounted to no more than a good piece of work for the Kayf Tara six-year-old, previously a leading bumper horse.

Of course Willie Mullins does the training and he said: "He jumped well but he was a bit keen. He'll go for a novice now, probably after Christmas.

"He's a big horse but he'd go over any trip. Hopefully he'll win more hurdles but he has the makings of a chaser."

Mozoltov is 20/1 (from 25s) for the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle while he has been introduced at 25/1 for the Neptune Investment Novices' Hurdle with Stan James. (TW & EM)

Henry Cecil wasn’t famous for bluntness. Wry humour was more the late master-trainer’s speed. But one thing he was consistently and admirably blunt about was handicaps. He hated them; described them as an encouragement to cheat. And he was right. Everyone knows he was right. So why are we surprised when cheating actually occurs? And [...]
