Mutineer toughs it out

Thu 1st Jan 2009, 14:26

Mutineer recorded his seventh career victory when once again showing great battling qualities to take the Bambury Bookmakers Dunshaughlin Handicap Chase. Mr Aussie looked set to secure a quick double for Francis Flood and jockey Mark Walsh when easing to the front before two out.

However the Dessie Hughes-trained grey rallied gamely for Paddy Flood to get back in front before the last, and stayed on best on the run-in to eventually win by five and a half lengths.

'He was hampered and lost his place when a horse jumped across him here last time,' said Hughes.
