Former Cheltenham Champion Bumper winner Cousin Vinny has died at the age of 20.
Trained by Willie Mullins, the gelding provided the Carlow handler's son Patrick with his first Cheltenham Festival winner in 2008 when landing the 2 miles and ½ furlong contest.
In total, Cousin Vinny won seven of his 16 racecourse starts, which included victories in a Punchestown Grade 1 bumper, two novice hurdles, as well as two hurdle wins in open company at Fairyhouse's Easter meeting and at Punchestown.
