Mullins Adds Impressive French Bumper Winner To His Team At 300k

Willie Mullins has another classy French recruit to look forward to after Pierre Boulard and Harold Kirk teamed up to buy the Xavier Blanchet-trained Nippon Go (Beaumec De Houelle) for €300,000 on Arqana Online.

A winner of a French bumper by over three lengths at Lignieres En Berry earlier this month, the three-year-old will go into training with the dominant Irish Champion National Hunt trainer.

Nippon Go was the most expensive horse sold during the latest Arqana Online session.
