Annie Power could race on Flat or in France Willie Mullins is not ruling out the possibility of Annie Power gracing the racecourse again before she is retired. The nine-year-old became the first mare in 22 years to claim the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in March 2016, but has not been seen in competitive action since following up in the Aintree Hurdle the following month. Last month connections confirmed the great mare was in foal to Camelot, who won the 2000 Guineas and completed the English-Irish Derby double for Aidan O'Brien in 2012. After sidestepping several engagements at the Punchestown Festival, it seemed her racing career was over, but Mullins revealed that has not yet been confirmed. "She's working away doing fast work, there's just no spark," said the champion trainer. "If she sparked, she might go to France. Maybe she might have a run or two on the Flat, we'll see. "I haven't discussed that with my owner yet."
