Kildare man posts brilliant advert on Done Deal in response to fall out between Willie Mullins and Michael O'Leary

Some quick-witted Done Dealer was quick to post an advert on the website yesterday afternoon, taking the mick out of the whole situation and invariably implying that O'Leary- despite being a billionaire- is just being tight when it comes to money.

Yesterday it was announced that hugely successful horse trainer Willie Mullins was ending his partnership with Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary. IT was a highly unexpected move that shocked the horse racing world, and split one of the most dominant partnerships in Irish horse racing.

The reason for the split was Mullins' decision to increase his fees by 10% for the coming season, something which O'Leary would not agree to. Mullins said yesterday that he hadn't raised his training fees for the past nine years, and that he always treated all clients the same, meaning that he intends to raise the fees for every owner this season, and not just O'Leary.

It means that the 60 horses owned by O'Leary that were being trained by Mullins will now be divided between other trainers, which will see Gordon Elliot receive around 20 of the airline boss's horses.
