Re: Horse Racing
On-song Mullins goes for Gold.

Willie Mullins is dominating another Punchestown Festival, but he will have one eye on Sandown on Saturday when Away We Go takes in the bet365 Gold Cup.
Runner-up in the Irish National last time out, stamina is clearly no issue and the trainer believes quicker ground will also pose no problem, but he has some doubts about the race coming too soon after his Fairyhouse exertions.
Mullins said: "He travelled over well and is doing everything right. Although his pedigree suggests he wants soft ground, I think he'll handle faster ground all right. Declan Lavery travels over to ride him and takes a handy 7lb off his back. He's going there off the back of a great run. I just hope it isn't coming too soon."
