All Too Easy for Quinola at Cork
In concession of 12Ibs there were those that thought Quinola Des Obeaux could be vulnerable to Miss Abrahnovic in the McCarthy Insurance Group (Pro/Am) Flat Race but nothing could prove to be further from the truth as he brushed her aside with consummate ease, by all of fifteen lengths.
Patrick Mullins made all on the Punchestown winner and the 8/15 favourite asserted in the final quarter mile, staying on strongly to score impressively.
Father of the winning rider and trainer, Willie said: "That was a fantastic performance. He is on our shortlist. If the ground is too lively at Cheltenham we may keep him for the Punchestown bumper as that race is worth more, especially with sterling the way it is."
The winning owner is Osi Meli, an English-based inventor, who has had horses for ten years but this is the first of them to win.
Cashmans go 14/1 from 20/1 about Quinola Des Obeaux for the Cheltenham Bumper whilst they are now 2/1 about Willie Mullins again capturing that prize. (EM)
