Vintage glory for veteran Mullins

Veteran trainer Paddy Mullins weaved his magic with ex-invalid Vintage Tipple, the filly who panics when she leaves home, to land a memorable Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh yesterday.

Mullins, 84, is already assured of a place in racing history as the handler of the wonderful jumps mare Dawn Run, but he is no stranger to success on the Flat, too.
