Whiskey Sour, from the Willie Mullins stable, was the eventual winner of the €50,000 first prize. That left two of Mullins’s four runners in the race – Sharjah and Real Steel – to battle it out as they approached the final flight many lengths in front of Whiskey Sour. Their stable companion Whiskey Sour, a 299-1 chance in-running on Betfair moments before, crossed the line as the very fortunate 19-length winner a few seconds later. Whiskey Sour was definitely the fourth [string] of ours coming into this and he’s ended up winning it. Min jumped the last in front but Simply Ned, a 16-1 chance from the Nicky Richards stable in Cumbria, launched a strong challenge on his inside, tight against the far rail.
