Hurricane Fly: Fourth Irish Champion win at Leopardstown

Hurricane Fly extended his world record of Grade One victories to 19 with a fourth consecutive Irish Champion Hurdle win on Sunday.

The 10-year-old, ridden by Ruby Walsh for trainer Willie Mullins, beat Our Conor in a pulsating finish.

Sent off the 4-7 favourite despite bruising a foot earlier in the week, Hurricane Fly's win matches Istabraq's four triumphs in the race.

Our Conor challenged, but Walsh could celebrate as the winner went clear.
