A successful day at the office for trainer Willie Mullins was crowned with a record 100th win at the Cheltenham Festival in Wednesday’s final race at the best online horse racing betting sites, the Champion Bumper.
Mullins had already tasted victory with the novice duo Ballyburn and Fact To File, who had previously won the Grade 1 Gallagher Novices’ Hurdle and the Grade 1 Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase, and entered nine of the twenty-one runners in the Champion Bumper. The market predicted that Jasmine De Vaux would prove to be the best of the lot, and the gelding was the choice of the son of Patrick Mullins, who made his debut at Naas in late January to great success under the rules.
The Paul Nicholls-trained Tishan set a strong pace up front and it looked as though Gordon Elliott might upset Mullins when Romeo Culio began to make some notable progress at the crossing. Jasmine De Voe rode well for two miles, and on the hill Cheltenham kicked into high gear to overtake Romeo Culio, with Jalon D’Oudaires back in third.
While the team may have been expecting to reach 100 winners at the start of their career with the cheap favourite El Fabiolo in the Champion Hurdle, it was very pleasing to see Patrick Mullins’ son secure a historic victory.
