Updated: Thursday, 16 Oct 2014 17:30 | Comments French recruit Vautour is unbeaten since moving to the Willie Mullins yard
Willie Mullins has revealed Supreme Novices' Hurdle hero Vautour is likely to embark on a career over fences this season.
The five-year-old was a stunning winner of the Cheltenham Festival curtain-raiser in March and made it five from five for Ireland's champion trainer when stepped up in trip at Punchestown in early May.
Owner Rich Ricci reported at the start of the month another of his prized assets, Faugheen, would remain over hurdles this term and now his trainer has confirmed the intention is for Vautour to go over the larger obstacles.
Mullins said: "Vautour will probably go over fences.
"The ground has been so fast that you wouldn't really want to school horses at the moment. The horses are still heavy and you want to keep them sound.
"They came back in very heavy this year and I would say it's the best summer grass we've ever had. There was such great growth."
Another hugely exciting runner for the Mullins-Ricci combination is the brilliant mare Annie Power.
The six-year-old has been successful in 11 of her 12 starts, with her only defeat coming when runner-up in the World Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Mullins has not yet decided whether she will remain over timber or go chasing this term, but has not ruled out mixing the two.

Have the Mets started moving in the fences at Citi Field? It sure looks like it.
The club tweeted out photos today of work being done on the fences in right-center field with deconstructed walls and the imprints on the ground of a new line. And a kind of cryptic message along with it.
Could it be for a new edition of Highlights magazine? Perhaps. But the club has actually begun moving in the fences, though the new dimensions of the ballpark are not yet known.
Look for yourself.
WILL IT HELP?

Mayor De Blasio Mends Fences With Police At Columbus Day Event - Video
ITS a sure sign that were in the depths of autumn when Wetherby re-opens its doors for the start of its major jumps campaign and todays curtain-raiser at the popular Yorkshire course is staged in support of Spinal Research and embraces a seven-race card.
One of the highlights is the 10,000 Bobby Renton Handicap Chase, in which racegoers may be drawn towards the peerless Tony McCoy aboard Jonjo ONeills Foundation Man, or the James Reveley-ridden Shadrack, winner of his last two races.
Both those horses, however, are reappearing after a break and their fitness has to be taken on trust. Perhaps a better proposition may be Alderbrook Lad, trained at Middleham by Micky Hammond and a horse who ran well to finish third over hurdles at Sedgefield recently.
Now back over the major obstacles, Alderbrook Lad, a previous winner on this course, has scored four times over fences. He is napped to add to his tally this afternoon with Joe Colliverin the saddle.
The 10,000 racing UK Anywhere Available Now Handicap Chase over two miles is the joint most valuable race on the card and offers Toledo Gold the chance to follow up his recent Hexham win, where he made all the running.
The handicapper has raised the Maurice Barnes-trained gelding 7lb for that success, but Barnes has engaged the services of 7lb claimer Stephen Mulqueen to erase that rise. He could take plenty of catching.
The Spinal Research Rachel Wright Memorial Hurdle - named in honour of the lady from Stamford Bridge who was such a driving force behind this charity day for many years - is a head-scratcher for punters. Most of the runners are Flat recruits making their jumping debuts, but at least Final Countdown has had the benefit of a recent outing over hurdles.
John Quinns charge was not totally convincing before finishing second at Bangor, but that experience should have had a beneficial effect on this dual-Flat winner.
Also worth noting at Wetherby are the fit from the Flat Goodwood Mirage (3.25), another of McCoys mounts, and recent winner Orbys Man (4.35), from the Charlie Longsdon stable which was successful on this card 12 months ago.
On the Flat at Nottingham, Hazelrigg makes appeal in the Racing Specials At 32RedSport.com Handicap over five furlongs.

NEW YORK SPORTS HEADLINES
Get our weekday morning briefs direct from the WFAN newsroom
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) The incredible shrinking stadium is about to get another makeover.
The chronically run-starved New York Mets are moving in the fences again at Citi Field, according to multiple reports.
The team made a round of changes prior to the 2012 season, shortening the dimensions throughout and most notably nixing the Great Wall of Flushing in left field.
This time, the walls will reportedly be brought in only in the areas of center and right field. Work is slated to begin after the World Series, the New York Daily News reported.
Its not about tailoring the ballpark to a particular player or a particular composition of team, general manager Sandy Alderson said last month, acknowledging the possibility of new dimensions at the cavernous ballpark. Its about making Citi Field as fan-friendly and as exciting as we can make it.
The hope is that altered fences and a new hitting coach will boost the power numbers in Flushing, especially for stars David Wright and Curtis Granderson. The Mets hit seven fewer home runs at home (59) than on the road (66) in 2014. They also suffered a dip in average (.224 to .242) and runs (286 to 343).
On the flip side, could the the Mets a team built around young pitchers Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Jacob deGrom and the emerging Noah Syndergaard be sabotaging themselves without even knowing it?
Manager Terry Collins doesnt think so.

Reports: Mets To Move In Fences Once More At Citi Field
updated 9:57 AM EDT, Wed October 15, 2014
Washington (CNN) -- Rep. Paul Ryan wants you to know, he steps "right up to the plate."
That's according to a new video ad that hit YouTube on Tuesday -- no pun intended.
"Notice how my kids hit," Ryan says over a clip of him throwing an underhand pitch to two children who smack the baseball for what is undoubtedly a base hit. "They step right up to the plate. That's what I've tried to do in Congress -- step up to the plate."
But that last line comes with a smiling Ryan knocking one out of the park. He must have since he doesn't make a run towards first.
"When it comes to protecting taxpayers' money, I will always step up to the plate because you deserve a government that respects your hard work," Ryan declares.
The 2012 Republican vice presidential pick didn't snag the No. 2 post, but he easily won reelection that year in the Wisconsin district he's represented since 1998.
But the ad might have a broader audience than voters in his home district. Ryan won't say yet whether he'll make a run for the White House in 2016, but he is widely viewed as a potential contender for his party's nomination.

The Mets are bringing in the walls at Citi Field again. Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports the team will bring in the walls in right field and right-center field this offseason. Construction could begin within three weeks.
It's unclear just how much the walls will be moved in. Following the 2011 season, the Mets brought the walls in from 371 feet to 358 feet in left field, from 415 feet to 390 feet in right-center, and from 378 feet to 375 feet in right field. It is 408 feet to center field and that has not been changed.
Last month GM Sandy Alderson said the team was considering bringing in the fences a second time to make "Citi Field as fan-friendly and as exciting as we can make it." He added it is "not about tailoring the ballpark to a particular player or a particular composition of team."
After it opened in 2009, it was immediately obvious Citi Field was going to be a pitcher's park. Franchise cornerstone David Wright -- who drives the ball to right-center when he's at his best -- hit .318/.403/.555 at Shea Stadium and has since hit .283/.373/.452 in Citi Field.
