I want to ride a Minella Winner
A three-time winner on Kempton's all-weather track when trained by Clive Cox, Pinball Wizard gained his first success in Ireland when landing the first division of the one-mile handicap at odds of 25/1.
Owned and trained by John Nallen and ridden by his nephew Sean Bowen, the Dark Angel gelding was running for the first time since last August. Held up in mid-division, he made good headway early in the straight and was ridden to lead over a furlong out before staying on well to beat Bright Moment by a length and a quarter.
“He did it nicely from a bad draw. It was his first run back, since running over hurdles in Tramore, and I thought he'd like the quick ground, that trip and he was back on a lovely mark,” said Bowen.
“Corky (Carroll) and the team at home do a great job, all the horses are running well. With Cristal Clere and Mercurial we have three nice Flat horses to tip away with over the summer.”
Trainer and Jockey a family affair.

Cheltnham Festival Gold cup Day - March 18 2022
5th. February 2022
Minella Cocooner started the Dublin Racing Festival with a bang for Willie Mullins in the N.L.P. Solicitors Novice Hurdle.
Danny Mullins excelled as Minella Cocooner started the Dublin Racing Festival with a bang for Willie Mullins. Minella Cocooner looked a sitting duck with three furlongs to run, with Davy Russell moving up menacingly on the favourite Hollow Games, Minella Cocooner (11-1) was just waiting in front.
When Mullins pushed the button he took three lengths out of the field and immediately had the rest in trouble and his jockey was once again celebrating Grade One success on a supposed second-string from the stable.
It was Gordon Elliott’s Minella Crooner who stayed on best to take second.

P2P.ie Review: Minella Trump posted a fine staying performance when making his only start a winning one when taking the five-year-old geldings’ maiden at Ballycahane for John Nallen. Given a patient ride by Johnny Barry, the well-bred son of Shantou caught the eye jumping and travelling well throughout. The imposing bay appeared to relish the testing ground conditions, powering clear from three-out to record a comprehensive six length success.
