Veteran Mullins a Galway blazer
A couple of weeks earlier, he enjoyed his first classic when Vintage Tipple landed the Irish Oaks at the Curragh. Mullins, who will always be best-known as the man who trained Dawn Run, the only horse to ever complete the Gold Cup-Champion Hurdle double, has been at the top, or near the top, of Irish racing for over half a century.
He previously tasted success in the traditional Ballybrit feature with Boro Quarter and The Gooser and took his latest achievement in typical style, calmly and with hardly a hint of emotion.
