About

At Cheltenham's R2 Brown Advisory Novices' Chase (Grade 1), registered as The Broadway Novices' Chase (GBB Race), Joystick is a 7yo gelding trained by W P Mullins. He is by Coastal Path out of Polka Valtat. He has secured three wins, the most important coming on 5th Jan 2025 at Naas when he collected the $15000.00 Mdh prize. He has proved a profitable runner for punters; anyone who backed him throughout his career would have realized a 77% return on investment.
