I think this must be first year an Irish Jumps trainer won more prize money ...

The amazing National Hunt campaign Willie Mullins has just enjoyed is illustrated in no uncertain manner by the final statistics.

He won 193 races - an astonishing total - and prize money of €3.9m. He was almost €3m clear of second-placed Gordon Elliott.

The stranglehold he currently has on Irish racing was emphasised with those 13 winners at Punchestown, but also by the result of the Grade 1 hurdle for four-year-olds at the final stage of the festival last Saturday.

Mullins won it with Diakali, for a first prize of €49,600. But he took all the rest of the money as well, with his three other runners filling second, third and fourth places.

Thus, his final winnings on the race jumped to €73,600.

Mullins has a frightening array of talent and how he is going to fit them all in next season won’t half test his skills.
