SUNDAY was an important day for Willie Mullins. When you have the odds-on favourite for the two feature events on the day, a Grade 1 race at Punchestown and a Grade 2 race at Cork, expectation levels are high, and when expectation levels are high, there is lots of room underneath for disappointment.

There is not much room left, however, when you win those two races and when you have six winners in all on the day.
