Mullins excited by Facile Vega’s seemingly unlimited potential

Willie Mullins is excited about Facile Vega's potential. Faciles Vega is the son of the Cheltenham festival winning mare Quevega. He won his first start over flights earlier this month. The gelding will make his jumping debut in Tuesday's Paddy Power Future Champion Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown. He is an unopened package. Mullin's has had superstar names such as Hurricane Fly and Faugheen through his hands.

Facile Vega is a great prospect for trainer Mullins. He is the Cheltenham Festival's most successful trainer with 88 winners. Christmas is coming back to the sport. The days of the twice a week racegoer are behind them. The sport is veering towards festival days. Leopardstown and Limerick start four days each. Down Royal has busiest single day of action of year. Mullin's is biggest winner in the last three years. Last year he saddled 15 festive winners at Leopardstown. In 2020 it was 16. There were 13 of them at the Leopardtown alone.
