Head Girl at Cheltenham: Gail Carlisle, National Hunt Groom

Neither Willie Mullins’ nor Gail Carlisle’s names or faces would turn any heads in the United States, but in Ireland this week, Willie Mullins is the field marshal. Gail Carlisle is his aide-de-camp. Their cavalry of rangy bays and grays charged into England this weekend with the goal of bringing home the trophies, the prize money and the glory from the world's premiere series of jump races. Racing news reports suggest they can do it...odds on the bookies’ board indicate the public agrees.
