Irish Grand National key to Mullins’s pursuit of new prizemoney record via IrishTimesSport
Facing into this weekend’s lucrative Easter festival action at Fairyhouse, he is on just over €4.5 million for the season to date.
“I was pleasantly surprised to be told about the total of winners recently but for me it’s more of a day-to-day thing – hopefully they just keep coming!” he added. He has eight of the 15 entries left in Easter Sunday’s featured €100,000 Willow Warm Gold Cup, still referred to by some under one of its old titles, the Powers Gold Cup.
“Sir Gerhard is definitely in the mix. His lack of jumping experience told in Cheltenham and he probably could run here and go back to Punchestown because he does need experience,” Mullins said. Mullins has eight options for Sunday’s other Grade One EBF Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle named after the recently retired star who won the race in 2019.
