5 now for Willie at Galway Willie Mullins brought up a double at the fourth stage of the Galway Festival, adding to Laviniad's win in the earlier Listed Corrib Fillies Stakes as Prince D'Aubrelle landed the concluding Guinness West Indies Porter INH Flat Race under Patrick. The French-bred went one better after a couple of second placings, leading over two furlongs out after racing pretty keenly, going on to beat the marginal favourite, Lieutenant, by four and a half lengths. "He improved and settled much better today. He has plenty of pace and could go for a winners bumper at Listowel, or go hurdling next," reported Willie. Regarding Galway Hurdle runner-up Max Dynamite Mullins said: "He could go for the Lonsdale Cup at York whilst Wicklow Brave could run in the Ebor. "We'll keep Max Dynamite's hurdle mark for when it's needed and he could also be a Melbourne Cup type horse." He added: "I've never trained five winners at the Festival here before but I do remember being leading jockey one year. "I won it with a double on the last day but one of the top professional jockeys, Tom Morgan, had stayed on late to collect the prize. I beat him with my bumper winner and I'd say he wasn't very happy going home!" (TW & EM)
