As was the case on Sunday, Willie Mullins grabbed the headlines on Monday’s card in Killarney, this time recording a 38-1 four-timer to bring his tally for the two days to seven winners.
Top of the bill on Monday was the Grade Three Boylesports An Riocht Chase, and Saint Sam ran out the easiest of winners. A shade better settled than in previous races, he jumped well throughout and as the race unfolded, he coasted into contention and never had to be asked a serious question to see off the long-time leader, Effernock Fizz. In fact, so strong was he at the end of the race, Paul Townend struggled to pull him up.
