Willie Mullins reigned supreme on day one at Punchestown.
There'll be serious celebrations in Ferbane tonight as a local syndicate of 15 people scooped the 30,000 euro winning pot.
The Whitegrass Racing syndicate as they're known were meant to have two runners in the race but their second chance Getaway Gorgeous had to be withdrawn before the race got underway.
Ridden by Conor McNamara and trained by Willie Mullins, the 6 year-old Jazzaway got the better of 22/1 shot Call Me Lyreen in a photo finish.
Jazzaway went off a cracking price of 10/1.
It was his fourth win from eight races under rules on his first run since finishing second to Cheltenham Festival winner Mrs Milner at the Galway Festival last July.
👏 Cracking finish
