A striking win today by Mr Adjudicator at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival, where the four year old was tackling hurdles for the first time. Mr Adjudicator was ridden by Paul Townend, and is seen here being led in by The Bobbett Family after him winning The Paddy Power 3-y-o Maiden Hurdle. The gelding was bred at Mickley Stud for proud breeder W Harmes, whose dam has now produced the winners of 22 races from only 5 runners. Mr Adjudicator was also a winner on the flat for Joseph G Murphy, and now switched to the jumping game with Willie Mullins looks to have an exciting future ahead. We are delighted for all concerned.
