French plan comes to fruition in Sligo for A Penny A Hundred A Penny A Hundred was a market drifter in the bumper at Sligo, but showed a good turn of foot to put the race to bed on debut for Willie Mullins. She went off at 11/8f having been 5/6 and was steered into a threatening position approaching the home straight by Patrick Mullins. She soon grabbed the initiative straightening up and readily ran on well in the closing stages to put five and a-half lengths on Hypersonic Missile (2/1). Mount Frisco came in third, beaten 12 lengths by the winner, at 12/1. Patrick Mullins said: "She was better on the track than she has been at home. She's bred by my mother, we sent a few of our mares over to France as a bit of an experiment so she's a French-bred. "I think Jukebox Jury is going to be a fantastic sire, we've plenty of well-bred horses by him and My Great Mate who won in Galway is one of his as well. "She has a pedigree with lots of stamina and I'd imagine she'll be able to go up in trip over hurdles." Additional reporting by Mark Nunan
