Debutante Korinthia (6/4 — 9/4f) belied a market drift to win Wexford's concluding Racing Again 9th August Fillies INH Bumper, scoring for trainer Willie Mullins and his son jockey Patrick Mullins.
Carrying the colours of the Killeedy & Listowel Syndicate, Korinthia quickened well in the home straight and comfortably defeated Montana Blue by 2.75 lengths
Afterwards Mullins junior took a trip down memory and said “we had the dam (Koroleva) whom I won a bumper on, but Jamie Codd beat me by a head on her at Killarney (in 2017) and I lost the championship by one that year. I dropped my stick on her as well, so that's what I remember her for!
“We leased her from Jock O'Connor and Pat Hayes, from Kerry, and this filly is also leased from them. She is by Jukebox Jury and we have an army of them at home. They are not big but they go.
“I'd imagine we will try and get black type somewhere, at maybe Gowran or Cheltenham. She is not a winter mare, is small and nice ground will be the key to her."
