Willie Mullins and Paul Townend take titles after season shutdown

Two Cork riders won jockeys' championships.

Willie Mullins and Paul Townend also captured the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month.

We’ve been denied what would have been another thrilling finish to the National Hunt season and, in particular, the destination of the trainers’ championship, but the cancellation of the remainder of the season has resulted in Willie Mullins being crowned champion for the 13th consecutive time, and 14th in total.

With a tally of 165 winners from 656 runners a total prizemoney earned of €3,930,118, Mullins finished a little shy of €110,000 ahead of Gordon Elliott.
