Paparrazi Kid coasts to victory

THE Willie Mullins-trained newcomer The Paparrazi Kid proved the only one of four odds-on favourites to triumph in Navan yesterday, the Milan gelding justifying odds of 30/100 in the bumper.

After the defeats of Jenari, Its The Ice I Like and Knockgraffon King, odds-on players must have been punch-drunk before Patrick Mullins oozed confidence on The Paparrazi Kid, coasting home a 15 lengths winner from Clash Of Kings in the Athlumney Flat Race.

And Willie Mullins admitted: “That’s very pleasing. He might be better than I thought he was. I don’t think he’ll be going hurdling yet — he’ll stick to this job instead.”
