Hot Off the Tracks: Willie Mullins Welcomes a Promising New Rider
The racing realm is abuzz with excitement as trainer extraordinaire, Willie Mullins, snags a promising new jockey! Anna McGuinness, fresh off her triumphant debut, secured victory aboard JP McManus-owned I Am River at Kilbeggan.
Anna, a rising star, scored her first win for the unstoppable Mullins with a decisive 2-¼ length victory over Gavin Cromwell's In The Trenches. This victory paves the way for a plethora of future rides, with Annie earning her stripes with a gallant third-place finish in the Mayo National aboard Mullins' A Penny A Hundred.
Frank Berry, McManus' racing manager, showered Anna with praise, "The horse jumped great, and Anna got him into a lovely rhythm. You'd be delighted with him. Anna is riding out in Willie's and couldn't have done better."
Insider tip: Though not explicitly mentioned, Anna's dedication and skill caught Mullins' discerning eye, leading to her becoming a part of his esteemed jockey ranks.
Rumors swirl as Mullins continues to amass a squad of top-tier talent. Among the new recruits is Bentraghhill, a £125,000 point-to-point purchase, whose dashing good looks left the salesroom in awe. Harold Kirk, Mullins' trusted right-hand man, placed the winning bid. Bentraghhill joins an impressive list of former Wilson Dennison-owned stars such as Yorkhill, Shaneshill, and Bellshill.
