Hunters Yarn wins Fairyhouse Finale for Mullins Hunters Yarn won the Leinster Reinforcements & Brazil Piling(Pro/Am) INH Flat Race, the final race of the Easter Festival at Fairyhouse. Ridden by Patrick Mullins for his father Willie, the five-year-old had to dig deep to eventually get his head in front in a ding dong battle. A bumper winner for previous trainer Pat Doyle last year, he had disappointed over hurdles on his stable debut before returning to win a decent bumper at Limerick. “He did that nicely and he has improved the whole spring,” said Mullins. “He's going to be a really nice prospect going hurdling next season. “He jumps well, he won his point-to-point. We were going to go hurdling this season but it got a bit late and we decided to try and win a winners bumper, he's won a nice one here. “We'll probably put him away now.”
