Hurricane blows away rivals.

Hurricane Fly produced a scintillating display in the hands of Ruby Walsh to claim the Rabobank Champion Hurdle at Punchestown for the fourth successive year as Willie Mullins landed a hat-trick on the card.
Lining up off the back of a successful bid to regain his crown in the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, the nine-year-old was unsurprisingly a red-hot 1-4 favourite to confirm placings with runner-up Rock On Ruby.
Hurricane Fly's stable companion Thousand Stars played pacesetter and when Rock On Ruby went to the lead rounding the home turn, Walsh was sat motionless aboard the Mullins-trained superstar. He quickly sealed the deal going to the final flight before passing the post a hugely impressive winner.
