Earth Mother poised to strike

BACKING Willie Mullins’ horses right now is literally a licence to print money and it would be folly not to row in with the champion trainer at Clonmel this afternoon.

His Earth Mother is the nap choice in the opening Mares Maiden Hurdle. The Wexford bumper winner made a solid start over flights on this track two weeks ago and should now be poised to strike.

She travelled sweetly through that contest, before ranging up as a big threat to eventual winner, Rotorua, early in the straight.
