Gordon Elliott has Willie Mullins in his sights

Gordon Elliott has outlined his ambition to overcome the seemingly unstoppable Willie Mullins and become Ireland’s top National Hunt trainer.

Mullins’ stunning dominance of the scene in recent years has left his rivals floundering but Ellliott believes that, in time, he can surpass the Closutton supremo.

“I want to beat Willie Mullins someday, that’s what I want to do,” Elliott replied when asked his biggest ambition.
