Bobarlee can make Ruby Walsh’s Ballinrobe trip worthwhile

Bobarlee might make Ruby Walsh’s trip to Ballinrobe worthwhile by landing this evening’s opener at the County Mayo track, the Maloney & Matthews Mares Maiden Hurdle.

Although it took the six-year-old seven attempts to win a bumper, the Willie Mullins-trained daughter of Arcadio impressed when landing a mares event in Sligo last month, taking command in the straight before easing clear to triumph by fifteen lengths.

Patrick Mullins, who partnered her in six of her bumper runs, suggested after that success that Bobarlee had “taken time to get her act together”, bit that she had improved over the winter.
