Wicklow Brave scoots clear and wins the County Hurdle by a big, big margin! Another Festival winner for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend
 |
Trainer Willie Mullins recorded a record-equalling seventh victory of this year's Festival after Wicklow Brave turned the Vincent O'Brien County Hurdle into a procession, storming up the hill to score by eight lengths.
The 25/1 shot was always travelling powerfully under Paul Townend and scooted away from the field as they turned for home to put daylight between him and his rivals. He got a little close to the final flight but it didn't stop his momentum and he won in the style of a very good horse.
Wicklow Brave had run just under a week ago in the Imperial Cup at Sandown but lost all chance at the start, where he swerved left before consenting to start. He did something similar at Newbury (in the Betfair Hurdle) but Mullins felt the walking start helped him to get off with the others today.
"He lost it at the start at Sandown and did the same at Newbury for some reason," said Mullins.
"He's just got into a bit of a fit the last two times. They were both standing starts whereas today was a walking start so maybe that's helped.
"His work at home is good but he's just missed the break on his last two starts. He has been doing all the good work at home but not on the course. My one instruction to Paul was to just get him away and see what he had. Paul gave him a fantastic start. He just sat and sat and sat and let him do his own thing. He came wide and kept him out of trouble.
"He's not really had any proper runs this season and hence was on a favourable mark coming in here. It's fantastic for Paul - I'm delighted for him.
"My voice is suffering a bit but when the horses are running like that, you don't get tired. Everyone is just running on adrenaline now."
Mullins joined Nicky Henderson as the only trainers to have sent out seven winners at a single Festival.

Townend makes it three for The Festival
Jockey Paul Townend rode his third winner at the 2015 Cheltenham Festival when partnering Wicklow Brave to victory.
The winner was pulled up at Sandown on Saturday after a tardy start, and Townend's first priority was to get away smartly. Having achieved that the race was as good as over, for Wicklow Brave won easily despite a last-flight mistake. His victory added to wins for the jockey on Irish Cavalier and Glens Melody on Tuesday.
Townend said of the Willie Mullins-trained winner - a record-equalling seventh at the meeting for the Irish trainer: "He's a tricky customer, but he's always had plenty of ability and 12 months' ago he ran a cracker in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle [when sixth]. We always thought that if things fell right for him there was a decent race to be won, and luckily for me it was today.
"He's quirky, and would give you a kick as quick as look at you. It wasn't my plan to be in front on him too early, and going to the last he was looking around, which is why he made a mistake. But I couldn't believe how well I was going at the second-last and had to go.
"It's an incredible week - I would have settled for one winner, so three is magic.
"Willie is a genius of a man to turn them up at places like this. I was there about three furlongs too soon but thankfully it didn't matter. He has loads of ability and handled the ground better than I thought he would."
Harty wishes Wicklow wasn't so brave
Eddie Harty, trainer of runner-up Sort It Out, who finished eight lengths behind winner Wicklow Brave, said: "It was a great run. The horse has run his heart out and you can't ask for more than that.
"It's just a pity Wicklow Brave didn't do what he did on Saturday [the horse swerved left at the start at Sandown and was tailed off before eventually being pulled up], or we'd be stood in number one, but he ran a great race."
Tony Martin, trainer of third-placed Quick Jack, said: "All the options are there for him [to run again on the Flat this summer or continue over hurdles]. We'll see how he comes out of it today and take it from there."
