Willie Mullins is dominating jump racing, leading it to the edge due to the nonsensical programme book.

The consensus was that the 20,017 attendees on Saturday exceeded the capacity of Leopardstown’s facilities and staffing levels. To address this, Leopardstown must find a way to accommodate this large volume of racegoers or consider scaling back the numbers, similar to the approach taken by Cheltenham for its marquee festival. It’s a straightforward issue.

In addition, the dominance of one trainer in the event raises concerns that the situation might be approaching a tipping point. Despite the success in attracting people to the DRF, including around 10,000 British fans, Leopardstown now faces the challenge of enhancing the customer experience and improving the overall product on offer.
