Willie and Patrick Mullins enjoy an impressive strike-rate in Kilbeggan bumpers. And the father-and-son combination struck again, on the double, with newcomers Walk On The Moone and Old Bill Bartley, in last night’s bumper action at the midland track.

A Walk In The Park half-sister to Mount Ida and Sizing Tennessee, Walk On The Moone justified 8/15 favouritism in the mares event, forging clear in the closing stages to beat longshot Blossom De Mai by five and a half lengths.
