Ballycasey gives Mullins some solace

It is rare to see a Willie Mullins horse go off at 5/1 in a bumper but Ballycasey did and those who took the price were celebrating when Patrick Mullins kept him going to the line to fend off well-backed Our Vinnie by a length-and-a-half. Tue 27th Dec

After race at Fairyhouse Sun, 2nd Apr, 2017 (1st)

He’s found his mojo again. We were trying to make a stayer out of him but he obviously enjoys going a shorter trip and using his jumping. He’s got his confidence back. I wish the Topham was another fortnight or three weeks away. It was either there or here and we chose here. Hopefully he will run in Punchestown and he will probably have to go for the Grade 1 (Boylesports Champion Chase). He was third in the Galway Plate last year, and that’s a possible target again this year. He might not be as well in this year as last year!

W P Mullins

After race at Gowran Park Sat, 18th Feb, 2017 (1st)

.I thought he was going nowhere going past the stands, and he seemed to get his second wind going up the back.His jumping kept him in the race, and to win on that ground was good,. Once he found the other horses were not getting away from him then he started to enjoy it again. I wouldn't have thought we will travel with him. I'd say he'll stay at home and find similar races to this.

W P Mullins

After race at Gowran Park Sat, 1st Oct, 2016 (1st)

he's a pleasure to ride and didn't stay in the Kerry National. Before that won well at Killarney and ran a cracker in the Plate. He jumped like a buck today, quickened clear off the hill and got them all at it. We thought he was very good at one stage. He's a Grade 1 winner, and we tried to make him into a three-mile horse. He doesn't stay three miles and doesn't have the pace to be a top two miler. Obviously he's a two and a half mile horse, and he's got a bit of confidence from winning.

W P Mullins

After race at Gowran Park Sat, 22nd Nov, 2014 (1st)

I'm delighted. Ruby really asked him at the last and he came up for him. He was able to dictate the pace which he won't always be able to do. He looks way stronger than he did at any stage last year. Hopefully I can keep him like that and, if he can improve, who knows. I don't know where he'll go next but he has plenty of options and could go up or down in trip.

W P Mullins

After race at Leopardstown Sun, 9th Feb, 2014 (1st)

he (Ballycasey) worked at Punchestown last week and Paul (Townend, rider) said he worked really well and was right. He had little problems after his last run and we put him away but when Champagne Fever couldn't today, we let Ballycasey take his chance and he's not a bad first reserve! . Don Cossack was playing the fitness card and when he came to Ballycasey, I thought we were beaten and I was surprised he pulled out. It was promising considering he was held up and hopefully will improve and being by Presenting, he should be better on better ground. I imagine he'll go for the RSA Chase unless Patrick twists my arm for the four miler but I doubt it!

W P Mullins

After race at Clonmel Thu, 6th Dec, 2012 (1st)

The Dorans Pride at Limerick is a possibility now. He's a chaser in the making but he'll stay hurdling this season.

W P Mullins

After race at Leopardstown Tue, 27th Dec, 2011 (1st)

I'm delighted to get a winner on a day when we've had a lot of disappointment. He's a staying chaser in the making and will probably go novice hurdling straight away.
