You Oughta Know took trainer Willie Mullins into double figures for the week in terms of winners when staying on strongly to land the concluding Fr. Breen Memorial(Pro/Am) INH Flat Race at Galway.

The champion National Hunt trainer, who started the week by winning the very first race of the festival on Monday, had the final say with the Luke McMahon owned gelding running out a comfortable winner of the finale.

Sent off a well supported 4-9f, the five year old was produced by Patrick Mullins to lead on the inside entering the straight and he had enough in reserve to see off the challenge of newcomer Toto Too before going on to win by two lengths.

Willie Mullins, who finished up leading trainer, said:" It was a good performance giving the second horse a stone (including riders claim).

“Patrick felt the ground was fast enough for him so we might put him by now before going jumping.

“It’s been a great week and the ground here is fantastic.”
