Last season’s Champion Owner Gigginstown House Stud completed a treble at Fairyhouse today, when Lovethehigherlaw (completing a double for trainer Willie Mullins) landed the concluding Rockview Bumper.
Lovethehigherlaw, under Patrick Mullins, quickened well in the straight to eventually see off the challenge of promising newcomer Caolaneoin
Afterwards Mullins Snr stated “Lovethehigherlaw did today what he had been showing me at home and I’m very happy with him as he looks a fair sort.”
“I don’t want to bring him to Cheltenham and would prefer to think about the longterm picture but will talk to his owners before making a decision. I would prefer instead to run in the Grade 1 bumper Punchestown and possibly take in a winners’ bumper before then.”
Gigginstown House Stud's treble was their second in all and was achieved just eight days after gaining their first hat-trick, at Punchestown on January 8.
