Taipans Finishes Good Day for Mullins' Half an hour after his nephew, Emmet had completed a double, Willie Mullins followed up the success of Quiscover Fontaine by capturing the Munster By The Grace Of God Beginners Chase with the David Casey partnered Taipan's Way. This son of Taipan was very easy to back (5/2 in the morning out to 6/1) but that proved no barrier to the Trevor Hemmings owned seven-year-old as he swept through to lead from the second last before going on to readily account for Whatever Next by two and a half lengths. Mullins commented: "He is improving all the time. I'm a little surprised that he handled the ground so well and he'll be better on some good ground. He looks a nice horse for a novice handicap in the spring. David gave him a cool ride." (EM)
