Investmentsuccess comes home a clear winner of the bumper under David Mullins

The father and son team of Tom and David Mullins combined to take the bumper at Fairyhouse this evening, the Weatherbys Ireland GSB (Pro/Am) Flat Race, with Investmentsuccess
The six-year-old son of Oscar finished just four and a half lengths third to Killer Crow on his debut at Cork last month, and having opened at 6/1 this morning, he was friendless with punters and went off a 10/1 chance.
Settled in fourth, the bay victor improved into second in the early straight, as he went in pursuit of the leader Draco who attempted to make all under Sarah O’Brien.
A furlong from home Investmentsuccess hit the front, and he was ridden out from there to score by seven lengths, from Draco who plugged on to take second at 4/1, with the well-backed 5/4 favourite Marinero managing only third, a further length and three parts back under Shane Shortall for Tony Martin.
Tom Mullins said afterwards: "Just greenness beat him at Cork. It is not his fault he didn’t win before now.
"He is well bred and I expect him to go all the way to the top as a chaser. He is a half-brother to a good horse in Down In Neworleans (and Chomba Womba).
"He is very good and he has got to be, please God, a very good chaser."
