2009 Result

Blackstairmountain trained by Willie Mulllins easily won the amateur riders handicap by 4 lengths from market rival Miss Chaparral. It was a cultured by jockey, Patrick Mullins who tracked the leaders all the way and was not fazed when Abroad looked to steal the race two furlongs out.

He made his challenge rounding the final bend and at that point Miss Chaparral was alongside and looking equally as good. However the winner proved to have an extra gear and once engaged simply romped clear going past Abroad with ease and going away as they approached the line; Miss Chaparral had enough to go past Abroad for second

  • 1st Blackstairmountain, W Mullins, P Mullins, 5/4 Fav
  • 2nd Miss Chaparral, D Weld, R Mcnamara, 2/1
  • 3rd Abroad, J Leavy, Ms P Ryan, 13/2
