KOSHARI’s victory in a Grade B hurdle at Punchestown gave Walk In The Park (Montjeu) his eighth blacktype winner over jumps. That list already includes Min and Douvan. This was the nine-year-olds sixth win in all.

The two other hurdle winners on the final two days of the Punchestown Festival were the French-bred El Barra (Racingar), a half-brother to a pair of smart hurdlers in the full-sisters Barra and Creation (Vendangeur), and the English challenger Pure Bliss (Mount Nelson), a half-sister to the listed hurdle winner Secret Edge (Tobougg). El Barra cost Harold Kirk £280,000 in 2018, while Pure Bliss was bought by Harry Fry for €100,000 at Punchestown two years ago.

George Mullins owns and bred the bumper winner Carrarea (Notnowcato). He is the second winner for his unraced dam Georgina Valleya (King’s Theatre), and she is out of a full-sister to Valiramix (Linamix) and a half-sister to Da Valira (Shantou).

Meanwhile, the winning point-to-pointer My Mate Mozzie, a £205,000 recent purchase by Gavin Cromwell, won his bumper. He has the pedigree of a Derby winner, being a son of Born To Sea (Invincible Spirit) and he has Flame Of Tara (Artaius) as his third dam.

Few wins were more popular than that of Bob And Co (Dom Alco), with David Maxwell in the saddle, in the champion hunter chase. The French-bred is a full-brother to the Grade 1 Betfair Chase winner Vezelay (Dom Alco) and a half-brother to this year’s Thurles Grade 3 winner Grand Paradis (Martaline).

Finally, we end our look at the Punchestown Festival winners with the final pair of winners over the banks. Dermot and Perle O’Rourke’s Rewritetherules (Jeremy) won the Bishopscourt Cup, and he is out of a Mandalus (Mandamus) half-sister to Coq Hardi Diamond (King’s Ride). He won the Grade 2 Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown.

Call It Magic (Indian River) was the other winner cross-country and he is one of three racecourse winners for his bumper-winning dam Luas Luso (Luso). The 11-year-olds third dam was the useful Ballygriffin (Deep Run).
