Patrick Mullins Says...

" The Leopardstown Christmas Festival is one of the Irish Festivals we target each year with both upcoming and established stable stars. The big contests are very prestigious and all races are fiercely competitive, not least because of the excellent prize money on offer.

Leopardstown is a very fair track to ride but with large entries, especially in the handicap hurdle races, it can get very tight around some of the bends, you then face a stiff finish and you'll often see horses caught close home. A fabulous Festival and one we love to win at."
