DOES Willie Mullins know something that others do not? In one area of the business he is an unquestionably dominant force, namely when it comes to training fillies and mares. In the most recent National Hunt season in Ireland 42 blacktype races over jumps were won by fillies and mares, and exactly 50% of them were won by a runner from Closutton.

Additionally, Eglantine Du Seuil won the Grade 2 National Hunt Breeders Supported by Tattersalls Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
