Willie wins the bumper to complete Fairyhouse five-timer The Wager justified 11/10 favouritism in the concluding Watch Danny's Diary @ToteRacing (Pro/Am) Flat Race at Fairyhouse to complete a five-timer for trainer Willie Mullins.  Narrowly beaten in a Punchestown bumper last February, when trained by Pat Doyle, the son of Califet moved second early in the straight but needed plenty of assistance from the saddle to wear down Detroit Maverick close home to post a three-parts of a length victory.  Winning rider Patrick Mullins said of the Luke McMahon-owned five-year-old “I think I’m blowing harder than he is. “I didn’t want to hit the front too soon, because when he ran for Pat, he hit the front and idled. “You saw when he hit the front today he pricked his ears, I think there is plenty there and he’ll improve with racing. He’s still very babyish. “It was a great run in Punchestown but, with the benefit of knowing what he did that day, I didn’t want to get to the front too soon on him, not that I could have got to the front much sooner anyway. “I think he won more comfortably than it perhaps looked. “Harold Kirk bought the dam because she was a sister to Pont Alexander. Luke and Philip Reynolds kept her and bred from her. “It’s great to get a winner in these colours, some of my favourite winners were in these. Luke is in sunnier climes,  but hopefully he’s watching on.” Willie Mullins' other winners on the card were Proactif, Bambino Fever, Western Diego and Port Joulain.  Additional reporting by Gary Carson
