Punchestown, Thursday
Ladbrokes.com World Series Hurdle (Grade 1) 4yo+, 3m
Quote:
LAST month Quevega was the heroine of Cheltenham as she secured a fourth David Nicholson and she seamlessly transferred that awesome ability to Punchestown on Thursday to make it three World Series Hurdles on the trot.
Willie Mullins' magnificent eight-year-old defeated main rival Voler La Vedette in a display of imperious superiority after the final flight.
"She's a real good mare and she's showed it today," said Mullins. "I suppose some people thought she probably hadn't met much before, but Voler La Vedette had the credentials today after her good run at Cheltenham."

One of the greatest mares ever to grace the racecourse in my opinion.

Punchestown, Thursday
Avon Ri Corporate & Leisure Resort Chase for the La Touche Cup 4m1f, Bank, 5yo+
Quote:
UNCLE JUNIOR, who disappointed slightly on fast ground when only eighth in the Cheltenham cross country, enjoyed the splash and dash of Punchestown to land the Le Touche Cup in a pulsating finish.
Patrick Mullins, challenging for top rider honours at the festival, produced the top weight and 6-1 co-favourite in the dying strides to deny 25-1 chance Lydon House.
Saddlers Storm, another of the 6-1 co-favourites, moved up stealthily under Paul Carberry and stayed on to deny Tally Em Up in third
