Highclere Thoroughbred Racing has signed Willie Mullins on to train its recent purchase Caro Des Flos (Fr) (Tiger Groom {GB}). The 4-year-old will be Highclere's first-ever horse in training with Mullins, the 10-time Irish champion jumps trainer, and also the partnership's first-ever National Hunt horse in training in Ireland. Champion jockey Ruby Walsh will ride the gelding.
“We are thrilled to be teaming up with Willie Mullins for our first venture into Irish jumps racing, with the huge boost of having Ruby involved as well,” said Harry Herbert, chairman of Highclere Thoroughbred Racing. “Caro des Flos looks an exciting horse for the future, the perfect opportunity for those who want an outstanding novice prospect for next season.”
