QUEVEGA BUILDS TOWARDS CHELTENHAM

Quote:
Willie Mullins declared himself "very happy" with Quevega after the history-seeking mare made a gentle appearance after racing at Leopardstown.
The nine-year-old is attempting to become the first horse since Golden Miller in the 1930s to win the same event at the Cheltenham Festival five times when she lines up for the David Nicholson OLBG Mares' Hurdle. Quevega galloped with another long-term absentee, Fiveforthree, and two other stablemates.
Mullins said: "We just brought them for a day out really. The intention was to just canter round for one circuit as they will work again during the week. They've been off the course for a long time so we just did it to knock the fizz out of them really, Fiveforthree certainly was fresh."
