19 Grade One wins and fourth consecutive Irish Champions Hurdle win at Leopardstown. Hurricane Fly continues to mesmerize and our racing correspondent Donn McClean spoke to us about the landmark achievements on Monday Night Racing.

"Hurricane Fly is just unbelievable," said Donn. "He's an unbelievable racehorse. He had his setbacks which were well documented . During the week Willie Mullins took his shoe off and found that he had a stone bruise in his foot. He still was certain that he was going to be the Hurricane Fly that we all know and love. In fact, he said afterwards that had it been a different race or horse, he might have side-stepped it and waited another day."

Donn noted the 10-year-old's "willingness" to battle to victory during Sunday's race.

"He's now got to the top of the Champion Hurdle market. It's taken him this long to gain that universal recognition that would put him favourite for the Champion Hurdle. That's where he should be," said Donn.
