- Ballyburn justified his huge reputation when powering to victory for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend in the Gallagher Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham.
The six-year-old was heralded as an Irish banker after previously slamming Supreme scorer Slade Steel by seven lengths at Leopardstown last time and duly lived up to the hype.
He was sent off as the 1-2 favourite and his backers never had a moment’s worry, as Townend enjoyed an armchair ride before kicking clear between the final two flights.
Closutton stablemates Jimmy Du Seuil and Ile Atlantique were 13 lengths and a further three and a half lengths back in second and third. Just for good measure Mullins was also responsible for Mercurey (fourth) and Predators Gold (fifth).
“It’s the first time he’s wowed me, I thought ‘wow, what a performance’ and to me that was a Champion Hurdle performance,” said Mullins.
“It was really, really spectacular. With his size, scope and pedigree our owners might decide to go chasing with him next year, I don’t know. But with that performance, he can go anywhere.
“Our team are in flying form, but we are just so sorry for Nicky Henderson that he has had to pull his good horses out. It could be us, so our sympathies go to him.”

Had a lovely 'double' with Fact to File.
This is a beautiful horse, so talented! I love horses with a low head carriage , hes only small i would stick too hurdles with him👍
Ballyburn he is such an animal, I’ve said it in a previous video as well but his head carriage so low is usually a sign a horse is relaxed and people get mistaken just because it isn’t so common.
Yet another for the greatest nh trainer in history. Mr Cheltenham Willie Mullins. Congratulations to Willie and his team
Well, his record speaks for itself, doesn't it?
@@kurman4749 yes absolutely unprecedented record in the festival
I think we may have seen a future Gold Cup winner in Ballyburn.
Looks very spacial 👌👏
Special
Jeez he's an animal !
Yep! Great observation, and the Jockey is human too, quite amazing.
Well it is an animals race!!
Ballyburn,Lossiemouth Majborough and Fact to file along with Gallopin,State Man and El fabiola..With the returning,Energumene and Alloha...He's going to have an even stronger team next year and who would want it any other way except the poor bookies😊😊😊
Plenty would like it another way
The winner reminds me of a low-headed American flat runner named A.P. Indy; both very talented horses.
i love this horse he's my favourite of all the mullins horses just love how easy he makes it look and such a unique looking runner with his super low carriage and long heavy neck and thick skulled head incredible looking animal with incredible pedigree i think he beats stateman lossiemouth all of them.
Ballyburn "BURNED" The best for Team Mullins!! Just Awesome!!
How y'all doing over there in the states Jano?
Of course Lydia you wanted to ask them what next however they cut your Yackattyyackattyyack out 😮😮😮😮....
😂😂
Won hard held
Might as well move the whole festival over to a course in Ireland because we on this side of the water are hopeless at training horses for races of this magnitude
I agree with you 1000 per cent. The British- trained horses are as useless as seaside donkeys.
Cannot argue with you there.
You have a short memory.Was a time the Irish were happy with a couple of winners .The Irish government have lumped fortunes into prize money in Ireland.Also massive tax incentives for owners .GB is in a terrible state with prize money and you can't blame the owners for wanting a good reward for winning races .If the GB lot had the horses you would see we have some incredible trainers .Look at the owners of this race ....a Englishman and a Jock .
Move it to Willie Mullins' gallops!
🚀🚀🚀🚀💰
Genuinely thought this horse was massively over hyped until I saw this. I don't mind admitting i was obviously wrong on that one
👍
made it look easy didn't even get into 4th gear would of beat another 20 horses... but small field which is disappointing i thought this was Britain biggest day of the year and they can't throw 5 horses together?
That’s an airplane
Best performance of the week by a mile. He’ll destroy anything in next year’s Champ Hurdle if they decide to run him in it.
Don't forget Constitution Hill!
This was the standout performance of this Festival. I spent most of the season making the case for him running here, and he fully vindicated those thoughts. I look at this performance and think what a wonderful staying novice chase prospect, and hopefully, a Gold Cup winner. The last thing on my mind would be the idea he could be a Champion Hurdle winner, or even campaigned in that direction. Look at this performance, the further he goes the better he goes. The horse doesn't want to be cut back in trip. That's why he's not unbeaten. He shouldn't entertain that trip for the rest of his career. Unfortunately, unless he's just being contrary (yet again), the trainer seems to disagree. I only hope for the horse's sake that someone can talk some sense into him. The more times you force a horse to do something that isn't natural (look at his pedigree), the more chance you have of souring him. Mullins already has two horses for the Champion Hurdle. He doesn't need to waste a season with a horse who is 6 going on 7. This horse won't win a Champion Hurdle, and if he tries it could easily jeopardise any chance of him winning a Gold Cup. That has to be the ultimate aim. Hopefully, commonsense will prevail.
365 booost 💪
Jesus what a mug 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hendo Hendo give us a wave 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What did I say?

@@rapidreaperwell Shishkin is a confirmed non runner sweetheart 😂😂

#knowledgeispower
#sticktoxbox
You also called Impaire Et Passe winning the Champ Hurdle.. among many other ridiculous claims. How'd that turn out for ya? 😂
@@TheSirStu get a life
Paul and Mullins are a overrated duo, no wonder why so many people put upwards of £50,000 on their horses 😂😂😂
Knock knock. Heeeej there!!! Very disappointed there is no Lossiemouth's winning-clip yet - he was equally exceptional as other WP Mullins' winners. So any chance at all? 😳🤡🥹👀👁️🤣
