Willie Mullins commenced training in 1988 having worked as assistant to both his father Paddy
and to Jim Bolger. He still rates his father as the biggest influence on his career.
A former six times amateur champion in Ireland, his greatest moments in the saddle were winning the '83
Aintree Foxhunters on Atha Cliath and the '96 Cheltenham Bumper on Wither Or Which
As a trainer, Willie has won just about every major prize in Ireland, most of the big ones in the UK
and a few in France as well for good measure.
The Grand National, The King George, the Champion Hurdle (England, Ireland and France in 2011)
a couple of Supreme Novices' Hurdles, seven Hennessy's, numerous Cheltenham Bumpers and
if you can say Grande Course de Haies d'Auteuil (French Champion Hurdle), he has won that three times to date
Despite all the success he has had throughout his career, the last four seasons
have arguably been the best four campaigns of Willie Mullins' training career
His horses have remained remarkably consistent throughout
that time and he has enjoyed an abundance of big-race successes
He has been Champion National Hunt trainer for the last four years and has won the title six times in all
