Jockey Emmett Mullins recorded his first Galway Festival winner when Impersonator claimed the Easyfix Handicap Hurdle for his Uncle Tony Mullins.

Mullins sent 11/2 shot to the front two flights from home and kept on well up the hill to beat Acclaimed and John Cullen by a length and a quarter.

Winning jockey Mullins said afterwards: “He travelled well throughout, he needs to be kept on the bridle and he stayed at it well.”
