Another bumper win for Mullins

WILLIE MULLINS recorded his 18th bumper victory since November 1 when Alexander Seaview made a successful debut in the finale at Fairyhouse yesterday.

Another bumper win for Mullins

Mullins, who attended a schooling session in Thurles yesterday and arrived 10 minutes after the race, missed seeing the six-year-old Bob Back gelding stretch clear in the final furlong to slam Mountain Time by 13 lengths.

Described by his trainer as a “relentless galloper” , the Noel O’Callaghan-owned 4/7 winner will not be part of Mullins’ team for the Weatherbys Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. Instead, he’s likely to be launched on a hurdling career before the end of the season.
