Ep 5: Champagne Fever - with Patrick Mullins and Ruby Walsh
Support the show and help me to continue making episodes by joining the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/markwalsh For episode 5, I'm joined by two true superstars of the game - Patrick Mullins and Ruby Walsh - to discuss the lovable front-running grey, Champagne Fever. Trained by Willie Mullins, Champagne Fever won the Champion Bumper and Supreme Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham festival, before a heartbreaking defeat in the Arkle, and a freak incident causing him to miss the festival in 2015. He was a horse I loved watching run, and it was a real pleasure to hear both Patrick and Ruby telling me all about what he was like to have at home, how he was to ride, and about some of those days mentioned above. I very much hope you enjoy it. Contact me on Twitter on @MarkWalsh and share the show by using the link: horseracingheroes.com
