Patrick's the man in the pointer's bumpers "He stood at the start at Cork when he got a fright with the tape but I'd say he's a real front-runner and just gallops and gallops," said Patrick Mullins after he doubled his Tipperary score on Fabulous Saga in the concluding p2p.ie The Irish Point To Point Website (C & G) Point-To-Point INH Flat Race. Riding the former Dick Frisby and Mick Goff point-to-point winner, Mullins wasn't long about letting his father Willie's charge stride on in this two and a quarter miler. Mullins asserted aboard the French-bred two furlongs out for an easy four and a half length win over Friary Gold. The winning rider elaborated: "He's not the biggest horse but better ground helps him when he runs like that. We might keep him on the go for a summer winners' bumper now. "We've a few horses for the Sullivans (Sullivan Bloodstock Limited) who had Silviniaco Conti, but that's our first winner for them." Mullins won the preceding mares bumper for Damian Murphy on Duhallow Gesture. (TW & EM)
