FAIRYHOUSE hosted the richest jump race in the Irish racing calendar on Easter Monday when unconsidered 150/1 outsider Freewheelin Dylan (72) dismissed a host of rivals from the traditional National Hunt powerhouse stables to dramatically capture the Boylesports Irish Grand National.

Brilliantly handled by Ricky Doyle, the nine-year-old led his 27 adversaries a merry dance from the front in the first-time cheekpieces and become the longest-priced winner in the history of the race.
