'He's like a film star in the yard' - Grade One wins for Noel Meade and Willie Mullins at Punchestown
The Ballymore Champion Four Year Old Hurdle
Jeff Kidder sprang a 22-1 surprise for trainer Noel Meade as he lifted the Ballymore Champion Four Year Old Hurdle, the final Grade One of this year's Punchestown Festival and the Irish jumps season.
Triumph Hurdle hero Quilixios was widely expected to supplement his Cheltenham Triumph Hurdle success and maintain his unbeaten record, but he was beaten a long way out under Rachael Blackmore.
