Wylies certainly living the dream — thanks to Willie Mullins

Newcastle-based businessman Graham Wylie, and his wife Andrea, are living the dream and surely grateful for the day they decided to have horses in training with Willie Mullins.

The Wylies, originally, were best known as the owners of the great Inglis Drever, the first horse to ever win the Ladbrokes’ World Hurdle at the Cheltenham festival on three occasions. That feat was later achieved as well by the mighty Big Buck’s.

Graham Wylie bought his first horse in 2001 and, of course, was very much associated with the Howard Johnson yard in the north of England. Johnson trained Inglis Drever and the Wylies were his principal patrons.
