CAIRDIN TRAINED by Mags Mullins, this Accordion gelding failed to cope with the experienced, Willie Mullins-trained odds-on favourite Samain in Saturday's Punchestown bumper.
Champion trainer Willie Mullins had his first winner for the owner when his son Patrick partnered odds-on Samain to a workmanlike victory in the bumper, proving just over a length too good for newcomer Cairdin.
Samain completed a double for the trainer as he took the bumper under Patrick Mullins, to supply a treble for his owner Gigginstown House Stud.
