Mullins and Supreme swoop for Eagle Runaway November Handicap winner Open Eagle is set to embark upon a career over hurdles this winter after joining Willie Mullins. The five-year-old was a stunning 12-length winner of the traditional end-of-season highlight in the Doncaster mud last Saturday, his fourth victory since joining David O'Meara and Middleham Park Racing last year. Open Eagle has now been snapped up by the Supreme Horse Racing Club to be trained in Ireland by Mullins. Supreme racing manager Steve Massey said: "We're delighted to get hold of such a quality horse. "He showed on Saturday he obviously handles soft ground really well, which bodes well for his future in Ireland. "Once the opportunity arose, Willie was delighted to buy him. "He's rated 104 on the Flat after his win on Saturday and hopefully he'll take the club to another level. "He's done really well for his previous owners and hopefully he'll be as lucky for us as he was them. "The plan is to go hurdling when Willie gets him ready to go and hopefully there are some exciting times ahead."
