Mullins/Walsh record double

The Betfair Novice Grade A Handicap Chase saw Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh record yet another winner when Equus Maximus came home in front by 4 lengths holding off the efforts of the Edward O'Grady trained Tranquil Sea

Mullins said afterwards, "We ran him back too quick early in the season and that's probably how he arrived at his handicap mark. He loves that ground and he stays and jumps well. He could be an Irish National horse or a Newbury Hennessy horse next season."

"He ran a cracker considering he made two bad mistakes during the race" said Mullins about Golden Silver who finished 4th under David Casey.
