Willie Mullins enjoyed a whitewash at last season’s Cheltenham Festival – and he is not leaving anything to chance in pursuit of something similar next week.
Having won a remarkable 10 races over the four days at Prestbury Park – taking his tally at the Festival to a record 88 winners – the Closutton handler revealed he has painted all the bars on his schooling fences and hurdles white.
White markings on the frames, guard rails and take-off boards replaced traditional orange colourings on obstacles at every British racecourse last year.
