Willie Mullins aims for trainers’ title after Grand National win at Sandown, Perth, Ayr, or elsewhere!
Willie Mullins has continued his winning streak, adding the richest prize available in jump racing to his list of achievements at the British races. With a total of £2,874,693 in earnings, Mullins has dominated the big festivals this spring and is now setting his sights on the smaller events as well. Following his recent success, Mullins is already contemplating his next moves, considering potential contenders for upcoming races.
However, it is uncertain whether some of his previous winners will be able to participate, due to their recent exertions. Despite the uncertainty, Mullins remains optimistic, planning to enter multiple horses in pursuit of the first prize, which would secure his leading position. The odds for his representatives in the ante-post market are not in single figures, reflecting the competitive nature of the upcoming races.
Mullins’ recent victory has positioned him as the frontrunner in the trainers’ title race, with Skelton and Nicholls trailing behind. The intense competition is reminiscent of the Premier League race, with the odds in Mullins’ favor. However, history has shown that anything can happen in these title races, as seen in the close battle between Mullins and Nicholls eight years ago.
As the competition heats up, Mullins may call upon additional top contenders to ensure his victory, exemplifying the unpredictability of the sport. Amidst the excitement and uncertainty, Mullins remains focused on maintaining his lead and securing further triumphs in the upcoming races.
