we bought him after he won at Dromahane but there was a question mark over his wind. David Mullins was very keen on him though and had picked him out, so I thought at the price (€60,000) he was worth a chance. He’s now won a point-to-point and a bumper and he’s for sale to stay in the yard. He has a Flat pedigree so it was impressive to win a point-to-point in Dromahane and now win a slowly run bumper.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages of this race involving Full Confession, ridden by Mr P.W. Mullins, placed first, Milo Miller (GB), ridden by Mr A. Harney, placed second, and Youlita, ridden by Mr J.G. Murphy, placed third, where it appeared interference had occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Mr J.G. Murphy stated that he was in the gap when he felt pressure from his outside and had to check. He further added that he felt he would have been second at least. Mr A. Harney stated that he got pushed towards the rail but was aware of the horse on his inner. Mr P.W. Mullins stated that when he struck his mount he went right but he corrected him immediately. He further added that he could only see the horse on his inside and not the horse on the rail. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that while Full Confession had caused interference to Milo Miller and Youlita, he did not improve his finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge’s placings. They were, however, of the opinion that Mr. P.W. Mullins was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly and having considered his clean record in this regard the Raceday Stewards suspended him for three racedays
