Flotte makes winning debut for Mullins Quaquo De Flotte was produced with a well-timed run by Patrick Mullins to make a winning debut in the bumper at Limerick. Willie Mullins' French bred came with a strong run at the furlong pole and soon hit the front. The hotpot (10/11f) kept on well in the closing stages to post a four-length verdict over long-time leader Lady Olwyn. "He's a nice big chasing type and is a chaser in the making," said Mullins senior afterwards. "He may now have a crack at a winners' bumper and could then go novice hurdling after Christmas."
