Danny Mullins rode three Grade 1 winners at the Dublin Racing Festival last year and remarkably, it took him just three races to equal that tally today, when he partnered Il Etait Temps to an upset win in the Goffs Irish Arkle.

Teaming up with his uncle Willie again, Il Etait Temps followed wins for the pair earlier with Kargese and Dancing City, and was able to take advantage of disappointing performance from the odds-on favourite Marine Nationale, beaten for the first time in his career.
