EASY GAME highlighted a Listowel four-timer for Willie Mullins as he easily accounted for stablemate Kemboy in the Kerry Group Chase yesterday.
Just four runners went to post with Paul Townend opting to ride the 5-6 favourite rather than his multiple Grade Onewinning stablemate, returning from a three-month lay-off.
Townend set out to make all on Easy Game (inset) with Kemboy tracking him and he could be called the winner a long way out, eventually coming home
11 lengths clear.
Fences
Call Me Lyreen crashed out four fences from home, while The Little Yank fell at the fifth.
Mullins said: “Easy Game did it well, Paul said he was jumping out of his skin and left him behind at one or two fences.
“I think the plan is to go to Gowran for the Grade Two PWC Champion Chase.
“Kemboy’s owners are keen to bring him to Far Hills for the 100th anniversary of the American Grand National. The race is over 2m5f and I’d love to send Easy Game, but he is AQPS (a French breed) and they’re not allowed run in the USA.”
The Closutton team had earlier been on the mark with Nikini (5-6 favourite), who is set for a step up in class following a taking success in the Kerry Group Irish EBF Mares Hurdle.
Townend pushed on to score by two and a quarter lengths from Hollymount.
Assistant trainer Patrick Mullins said: “The lads who own her were meant to play a Gaelic football match for Old Leighlin at 12 in Waterford, but got it moved forward to 10.30am and the manager let four of them leave at half-time!”
He added: “They went very slow, which probably suited her, and we wanted to come here to jump the birch hurdles before she goes to Down Royal (for a Grade Three Mares’ Hurdle).
“I might be able to do the weight next time.”
Aghaboy (5-2) got the ball rolling as he made all in the Kerry Group 3-Y-O Hurdle.
Clear
Favourite The Insider looked a possible winner at the penultimate flight, but Aghaboy kept finding for Townend and came home two lengths clear.
Patrick Mullins then rode the closing Kerry Group (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race winner on Polo Lounge (7-4 joint-favourite) to complete the four-timer.
Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell were in double form, with Run For Pat (11-4) in the Dairygold Maiden Hurdle and Chemical Energy (11-10 favourite) in the Strings & Things Rated Novice Chase.
