Quevega took the step up to three miles in her stride when turning in a hugely impressive performance in the Ladbrokes.com World Series Hurdle at #Punchestown.
Quevega wins at Punchestown
Sent off the 5-2 favourite, you could have got 4/1 this morning, on the back of her second triumph in the David Nicholson Mares’ Hurdle at Cheltenham, Willie Mullins’ six-year-old travelled ominously well throughout in the hands of Paul Townend. Stablemate Mourad also moved up menacingly on the turn for home, but Townend remained motionless until the final flight, after which his mount quickened clear to score by three lengths.
Alan King’s Bensalem finished strongly to fill the runner-up spot, with Mourad third.
