Embassy Gardens barely broke a sweat when claiming the O’Driscoll’s Irish Whiskey New Year’s Day Chase at Tramore.
Willie Mullins’ nine-year-old started his chasing career last season and was runner-up in the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival after two prior victories earlier in the term.
He returned to action under Michael O’Sullivan as a 9-1 chance at Tramore, with Henry de Bromhead’s Monty’s Star sitting at the head of the market as the 4-5 favourite.
Embassy Gardens took up the lead immediately and put plenty of space between himself and his rivals, a margin that may have been reduced but was never closed as he won by an easy five lengths.
