Mullins back in winners enclosure

Fri 20th Mar 2009, 16:42

Tony Mullins made a welcome return to the winner's enclosure when winning The Thomastown Beginners Chase with Decoy Daddy under Davy Russell.

Mullins said afterwards, "That was great, he's just a better horse on better ground. I'm amazed he's been beaten so many times as he shows so much ability at home. He beat Venalmar in his novice hurdle. We will probably bring him to Fairyhouse and Punchestown and I must have a chat with Davy [Russell] to see would the Galway Plate be suited to him."
