The Hennessy Gold Cup at Leopardstown racecourse is one of Ireland's Premier National Hunt race days of the season. Take a look down the list of winners in the last decade or so and two things stand out, firstly, that Florida Pearl is a true champion winning the race four times, it is just a pity he never went on to take the Cheltenham Gold Cup Odds.
The other noteworthy aspect of this great race in the recent past is the amount of times that Willie Mullins has trained the winner.
