PAUL Mullins runs a fruit and vegetable business in his native Galway but about 10 years ago, he decided to take a chance on buying a few fillies, and “live the dream”.

Fast forward to today, and it’s fair to say he’s making a good fist of it. He bought three filly yearlings at that initial stage - Is She Diesel, Supreme Vic and Blackandambervic - with none of them costing above €2,500, before going on to record 10 wins between them.
