Fly digs deep to land fourth Irish Champion

Hurricane Fly, who did a piece of work on the lead in to the race which was so bad that it shocked Willie Mullins, made no mistake to take a fourth successive Grade 1 BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown yesterday.

“It was the worst he has ever worked and I thought maybe the dream was over, maybe he’d had enough”, said Mullins.

Well, that is clearly not the case, as Hurricane Fly dug deep to land a magnificent 19th win at this level.
