McGuinness came in for praise from McManus' racing manager Frank Berry afterwards. And this success could pave the way to a whole load more rides in the future. She got the leg up on Mullins' A Penny A Hundred in the recent Mayo National at Ballinrobe, finishing third and picking up a cheque for £7,500. Victory on I Am River came on just her third ride for Mullins - who keeps a close eye on Anna when she rides work at his Cork yard. Beaming Berry said: "The horse jumped great and got a lovely ride from Anna. "She got him into a lovely rhythm, and you'd be delighted with him. "Anna is riding out in Willie's and finished third in the Mayo National and couldn't have done better." Incredibly, McGuinness' first ever win came on freak 150-1 outsider Feast in a Downpatrick bumper in July 2023. Labelled a very 'promising' conditional rider, McGuinness has three career wins but will surely bang in a load more given the chance. Her addition to Mullins' jockey ranks comes as he continues to add fresh talent to his massive squad of horses. Among them is £125,000 point-to-point purchase Bentraghhill. Mullins' trusted right-hand man Harold Kirk gave the winning bid for the 'gorgeous' four-year-old at the sales last week. He comes from Wilson Dennison, who previously owned Mullins stars Yorkhill, Shaneshill and Bellshill. Meanwhile, Audrey Turley, who owns Galopin Des Champs, has sent Looking For Eight to Mullins. And point-to-point winner Arcadian Emperor is another to have arrived recently. That lot will be joined by Mullins' £300,000 purchase and Cheltenham bumper winner Poetisa.

Orioles Predicted to Trade Veteran Outfielder After Ryan Mountcastle News
Orioles Predicted to Trade Veteran Outfielder After Ryan Mountcastle News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's no secret that the Baltimore Orioles have been off their game this year, with a last-place start leading to the dismissal of manager Brandon Hyde. Advertisement Few things have gone right for the 2023 AL East champs, with star catcher Adley Rutschman hitting .203, which ranks last among qualified hitters. The Orioles' 5.38 ERA as a pitching staff is third worst in the league, shortly behind the historically-bad Colorado Rockies' 5.61. One of the bright spots has been outfielder Cedric Mullins, who had a strong April but weak stats in May. Mullins was placed on the 10-day IL on Friday, and a prediction surfaced about the long-time Oriole. Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (31) hits a Hildred-Imagn Images Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller listed Mullins as one of the nine players likely to be on the move, along with Sandy Alcantara, Luis Robert Jr, and Mullins' teammate Ryan O'Hearn, among others. Advertisement The Orioles finished 54-108 in 2018 and seemingly tanked, with the hope that an influx of young talent would get them back to their winning ways. That seemed to arrive in 2022 and 2023, with the arrival of Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, Grayson Rodriguez, Colton Cowser, Jordan Westburg and Jackson Holliday generating plenty optimism about the Orioles as a dynasty. Things haven't changed all that much, though injuries to Rodriguez, Cowser, Westburg and new acquisition Tyler O'Neill among others have left the O's depleted. First baseman Ryan Mountcastle was placed on the IL Saturday along with Mullins. Advertisement As the Orioles' injured list continues to grow, so will the calls for a near-complete sell for Mike Elias' team in a year that feels somewhat of a throwaway two months deep. Mullins, who will be a free agent after this season, seems likely to be dealt.

Orioles Place Cedric Mullins on Injured List
Orioles Place Cedric Mullins on Injured List originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Orioles announced Friday that they have placed outfielder Cedric Mullins on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 29, due to a right hamstring strain. Advertisement Mullins is the corresponding move to a deal that the Orioles made recently by signing Cooper Hummel. To make room for Hummel, Baltimore has placed Cody Poteet on the 60-day injured list. Mullins is having an off year, to say the least, as he is accumulating a slash line of .232/.324/.448. Along with a shocking and disappointing start to their season, the Orioles can not afford to lose someone like Mullins, as he becomes the 11th Oriole to hit the IL. There is no timetable for him at this moment. For the second time in just this week alone, Baltimore and the 30-year-old Hummel agreed to a Major League contract. Hummel had originally signed with Baltimore earlier in the week after opting out of his minor league deal with the New York Yankees, but was quickly designated for assignment the next day. The Orioles currently stand dead last in the American League East with a 19-36 record. The O's begin a weekend series Friday against the Chicago White Sox at home and look to improve on their last 10-game stretch, going 4-6 at that time.

Orioles Receive Bad News After Second Straight Loss
Orioles Receive Bad News After Second Straight Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Orioles (19-36) couldn't be more disappointing so far. They're in last place in the AL East, 6.5 games behind the fourth-place Boston Red Sox (27-31), and fired manager Brandon Hyde on May 17. Advertisement 2024 All-Stars Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman have each taken a step back, as the former is slashing .254/.318/.435 with seven homers and 15 RBI through 41 games, and the latter is slashing .206/.302/.339 with five homers and 15 RBI in 51 contests. Their best power hitter has been veteran outfielder Cedric Mullins, who sports 10 homers and 31 RBI. However, the 30-year-old is now injured, via The Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich. Baltimore Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins (31).Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images "The Orioles have placed OF Cedric Mullins on the 10-day IL with a right hamstring strain," he reported on Friday. "They re-signed UTL Cooper Hummel to replace him on the roster and transferred Cody Poteet to the 60-day." Advertisement Mullins is slashing .232/.324/.448 across 50 games. Baltimore selected Mullins in the 13th round of the 2015 MLB Draft and called him up in August 2018. The left-hander joined the 30-30 club in 2021, slashing .291/.360/.518 with 30 homers, 59 RBI, and 30 steals in 159 games. He also earned All-Star and Silver Slugger honors that year. Mullins owns a career slash line of .251/.320/.426 with 96 homers, 309 RBI, and 133 stolen bases in 743 contests. The Orioles' outfield depth is compromised. Colton Cowser (thumb) is on the 60-day IL, and Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is on the 10-day. The team will rely on backups Dylan Carlson and Hummel in the meantime, unless they acquire someone else.
