Flooring Porter powers to all-the-way Stayers’ Hurdle success
Chance ride for Danny Mullins after Jonathan Moore ruled himself out on morning of the race.
Danny Mullins finally got his first Cheltenham Festival winner when making the most of a chance ride on Flooring Porter in the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle. Mullins had gone so close many times in the past, but was fortunate enough to pick up the mount after Jonathan Moore, who led the horse up, had to miss the ride through injury. Flooring Porter, trained by Gavin Cromwell, was a handicapper earlier in the season – but showed he was much better than that when winning the Grade One Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown.A first Festival winner for Danny Mullins as Flooring Porter makes all pic.twitter.com/47JsLbiYS4
