About

Final Demand, a 7yo bay trained by W P Mullins, ran in the Cheltenham R2 Brown Advisory Novices' Chase (Grade 1), registered as The Broadway Novices' Chase (GBB Race). He is by Walk In The Park out of Zuzka and has recorded six wins to date. On 2 Feb 2025 at Leopardstown he earned his most important victory, taking the £150,000 Grade 1 Novice Hurdle. The horse has proved profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 45% return on investment.
