Mullins looks set to dominate on Red Mills Day at Gowran A large crowd is expected for ‘Red Mills Day’ at Gowran Park this afternoon with free tickets sponsored by the headline company and two Graded races on a seven-race card beginning at 1.20. The Grade 2 Red Mills Chase sees Saint Sam bidding to follow up his victory here 12 months ago, and the Willie Mullins-trained gelding faces two rivals in stablemate Classic Getaway and the Henry de Bromhead-trained Journey With Me. Mullins also has the odds-on favourite in the Grade 3 Red Mills Trial Hurdle where Kitzbuhel will try to follow up an impressive Irish debut at Punchestown. Paul Townend will be aboard both Saint Sam and Kitzbuhel and he has further strong chances on the card with Blue Lemons in the opening Sea Moon & Jukebox Jury At Burgage Stud Maiden Hurdle and Blizzard Of Oz in the QuinnBet Beginners Chase. The champion trainer has a fifth short-priced favourite with his son Patrick riding Introversio in the Ronan Lawlor Memorial Irish EBF Mares (Pro/Am) Flat Race. The going is currently described as soft following 5mm of rain since declarations and the forecast is for a mainly dry day.
