2-10-11 TIPPERARY TAVERN TIMES blitzed his opposition in the Grade 3 Dolores Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle for trainer Tom Mullins and jockey Davy Russell.HEALY RACING PHOTO.
After race at Tipperary Sun, 2nd Oct, 2011 (1st) I feel he's been getting better all the time. He's been showing more speed at home so I let him take his chance over two miles today,. I wanted to see if he was good enough to go for the Royal Bond at Fairyhouse. I also had Cheltenham in November in mind for him but I'd say the Royal Bond is his main target now. Even though he's won by 17-lengths he had a hard enough race there. Thomas Mullins
After race at Galway Thu, 28th Jul, 2011 (1st) It was not ideal he hit the front but I just wouldn't be holding him up either as he is that sort of horse at the moment. He is getting better, getting a bit of confidence and getting well in himself again. We had a lot of hardship with him over the winter as he ran well in a race at Naas but cut the front leg off himself and he was lucky to come back after that at all. Thomas Mullins
After race at Gowran Park Sun, 19th Jun, 2011 (1st) Davy said he wants a bit further. It looked that way today, although it's a bit of a surprise to me. His class won out in the end, and any less of a horse wouldn't have won as the runner-up had a right go at him. He'll go novice hurdling now rather than handicapping. Thomas Mullins
After race at Fairyhouse Sat, 10th Oct, 2009 (1st) Tavern Times always showed plenty of class at home and we fancied him a lot. He may go for a winners' bumper over Christmas next and we'll take it from there before making further plans. Thomas Mullins
