JESSICA HARRINGTON is the hottest trainer in racing right now. She has won a Cheltenham Gold Cup among three Cheltenham Festival winners, an Irish Grand National, recorded a first treble on the flat, had five Punchestown winners headlined by Sizing John’s third Gold Cup in two months, four doubles in 11 days and boasts a strike rate of more than 33% on the level.

She finished the National Hunt season in fourth position on the trainers’ table and currently holds the same spot on the flat. Only Aidan O’Brien has sent out more winners. Her 14 successes have propelled her two thirds of the way towards the tally of 21 accumulated in each of the past two years and on target to surpass her best of 30 amassed in 2010 and 2011.
