Mullins out on his own

Willie Mullins made history at Gowran Park yesterday when joining the legendary Tom Dreaper as the only trainer to win the Goffs’ Thyestes Handicap Chase for a fifth time.

Mullins’ hero was On His Own, who also landed this major prize two years earlier, with the ten-year-old producing a quite remarkable performance.

Said Mullins: “When you think of the type of chasers Tom Dreaper had it is nice to be mentioned in the same breath, it is a great honour.”
