Willie Mullins continued his reign over National Hunt racing with a dominant display at the 2025 Grand National Festival. His stable’s performance at Aintree, including a Grand National win, confirmed his elite status in the sport.
Mullins’ horse, Nick Rockett, secured a surprise win at 33/1, with the trainer also claiming five of the top seven spots. His son, Patrick, rode the winning horse, adding to the family’s incredible weekend success.
The Irish trainer collected £1.49 million in prize money at Aintree, bringing his total to £25.5 million in five seasons—six times more than tennis star Emma Raducanu’s career earnings.
Raducanu, who burst onto the scene with her 2021 US Open win, has earned £3.8 million. Despite recent form improvements, she has withdrawn from upcoming events, stepping back from the court temporarily.
