The seven winners were one shy of his Easter Sunday haul in 2023 which remains the most he’s ever had on a single day. That was also when he broke his previous 2018 record of 212 winners in a domestic season.

Carrying JP McManus colours, the 7-4 shot ended a run of five wins in a row in the historic race for Mullins who had to settle for places with Tactical Move and the favourite Blood Destiny. “If you didn’t get a kick out of that, you might as well give up!” grinned Mangan who predicted Dr Green – a summer at grass – for his new stable star before taking on some big guns next season.
