Allaho Returns to Winning Ways at Thurles

In a stunning display of skill and determination, Allaho emerged victorious once again in the highly anticipated Horse & Jockey Hotel Chase held at Thurles. Trained by the legendary Willie Mullins, this remarkable horse has claimed victory in this prestigious event for a third time.

A Comeback from Injury

After missing out on the previous season due to injury, Allaho made an impressive return to action this year with a smooth triumph at Clonmel. However, he faced disappointment when he finished third in the King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day. Determined not to be defeated again, Allaho proved his worth by leading throughout the race under jockey Paul Townend and securing an easy win with odds of 8-13.

Outshining Competitors

Allaho’s dominance was evident as he left stablemate Stattler trailing behind by an incredible distance of thirteen lengths. Assistant trainer Patrick Mullins expressed his delight with Allaho’s performance and revealed that Cheltenham would be their next target as it suits him perfectly.

Road Back to Ryanair Chase?

The significance of this victory cannot be understated as today’s race boasted Grade One winners. With the absence of Envoi Allen and Capodanno, Allaho’s path to success was made even easier. The talented horse is now considered a strong contender for the Ryanair Chase, with bookmakers slashing his odds to 5-2.

Impressive Performances

Mullins also praised Stattler for his brilliant run in today’s race, emphasizing that he has regained form after a period of struggle. Meanwhile, jockey Danny Mullins expressed disappointment with Appreciate It’s performance but remains hopeful that nicer ground conditions will boost his chances in future races.

An Exciting Future Ahead

Allaho’s victory has cemented his status as one of the greatest horses in recent racing history. As he continues to defy expectations and overcome challenges, fans eagerly await his next triumphs on the track.
