About Emmet Mullins

He enjoyed plenty of success in his career as a rider, including steering Sir Des Champs to win the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in 2011 for his uncle, Willie.

The younger Mullins has established a reputation for placing his horses to maximum effect, with his UK raiders always generating plenty of attention.

Mullins won the Grand National at Aintree with his very first runner in the race, Noble Yeats, in 2022.

Emmet Mullins Horses

Noble Yeats will forever be associated with Mullins' career given his historic Aintree success, while The Shunter gave him his maiden success at the Cheltenham Festival in 2021.

Mullins also landed the National Hunt Chase Challenge Cup in 2024 with Corbetts Cross, an emotional family success as the race was run in memory of his late grandmother, Maureen Mullins, the matriarch of Irish racing.

Cape Gentleman, Oriental Eagle, Fujimoto Flyer, Bittern, St Stephens Green, Red Devil Lads and Zero Ten are other significant horses in Mullins' career to date.

Emmet Mullins Achievements

Mullins has quickly established himself a trainer with the ability to pick a major race target and get there with a leading chance.

Noble Yeats, owned by Robert Waley-Cohen and ridden by his son, Gold Cup-winning amateur Sam, defied an 82-year trend in becoming the first seven-year-old to win the great race since the Second World War.

It was the latest in a series of superbly executed big-race plots that Mullins had masterminded and certainly helped bring him to the attention of a wider sporting public.

It wasn't just Noble Yeats' success at Aintree that catapulted Mullins into the public eye.

Perhaps the first major coup pulled off was when The Shunter landed a major spring double in 2021.

He won the bet365 Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso in early March and went on to Cheltenham 12 days later to win the Plate over fences, collecting a £50,000 bonus from bet365 in doing so.

Emmet Mullins Best Jockey

Mullins is not tied to a jockey but Donagh Meyler and Brian Hayes are two of his most-used riders.

Feronily won the Dooley Insurance Group Champion Novice Chase at the Punchestown Festival in 2023, giving Meyler his first taste of Grade 1 success.

Jordan Gainford partnered his first Cheltenham Festival winner in 2021 on The Shunter, while Derek O'Connor was on board Corbetts Cross in the National Hunt Cup (for amateur riders) in 2024.

His cousins Patrick and Danny Mullins are also regular riders for Emmet Mullins' horses over jumps, while on the Flat, champion jockey Colin Keane and Ronan Whelan are often called upon.
