Bidding lands the odds in bumper
Winner for Patrick Mullins
© Photo Healy Racing
The Willie Mullins-trained Are You Bidding sent favourite backers home happy when staying on best in the closing stages to land the concluding bumper at Kilbeggan.
Patrick Mullins was handy throughout on the 4/6 shot and he disputed from three furlongs out. Bensachuine looked a big threat as he threw down a challenge two furlongs out but the favourite kept on best in the closing stages to record a length-and-a-half success.
The winner had been third behind a smart sort in Thebarrowman on his debut at Fairyhouse back in February.
Patrick Mullins said:- “He’s just a stayer. I probably should have made more use of him around this track. I’d not be afraid to go up in trip and make more use of him next time.
“He’s a brother to No More Heroes but is a smaller, narrower type. He’s more a summer horse than a winter type.”
(Quotes by Alan Magee)
