The winning owner of the first race of the 2021 Cheltenham Festival joined us on Sunday Sport this afternoon.
Michael Masterson who is a native of Achill owns Appreciate It trained by Willie Mullins which won the opening race of the festival, the Supreme Novices Hurdle.
The horse started off as a 5/6 favourite and earned its favourites tag in style, galloping home to win by 24 lengths.
Michael told Midwest Sport today that it was a wonderful feeling.
