The betting said Blow By Blow wasn't for beating in the Flower Hill (Pro/Am) Flat Race. The market proved a good guide in the finale at Navan as the 2/7 shot brought up trebles on the day for his owners, Gigginstown House Stud, and trainer Willie Mullins.
Patrick Mullins on the successful Robin Des Champs gelding, looked happy as this five runner bumper panned out into its conclusion up the straight.
Once the record breaking amateur looked around to see Jett still in there pitching entering the final furlong, he quickly asked his mount to go and put his seal on proceedings.
Blow By Blow produced an impressive response going on to oblige by four lengths over Jett.
"He's improved nicely from his first run, and had been working well at home. He'll go for a winners bumper, probably on this side of the Irish Sea," said Willie Mullins.
"He's a big chasing individual, and fences are what he wants."
The earlier Mullins winners were Sambremont and he combined with Gigginstown to land the Ten Up with Measureofmydreams
