Yonger the highlight of Mullins three-timer

Felix Yonger got up right on the line to deny Mallowney in the feature Kerry Group Hilly Way Chase as he headlined a treble for trainer Willie Mullins at Cork yesterday.

Tm Doyle’s Mallowney had jumped to the front two out and was good at the last, but found Felix Yonger (100-30) cutting him down and the pair flashed past the line together.

It was only a brief moment before the Mullins’ runner was confirmed the winner by a nose, with Days Hotel another four and a quarter lengths back in third and Alderwood in fourth.
