Mullins hails his team after being crowned champion again
Best of the best: Presentations to the 2021/2022 National Hunt Season Champions at Punchestown on Saturday included (L-R) Paul Townend (Champion Jockey), Jody Townend (Champion Lady Amateur), Nicky Hartery (HRI Chairman), Willie Mullins (Champion Trainer), Jack Foley (Champion Conditional), Patrick Mullins (Champion Amateur) & J.P. McManus (Champion Owner).
Willie Mullins was keen to pay tribute to his owners and his staff after being crowned champion trainer for the 16th time on the final day of the Punchestown Festival.
The Closutton machine has certainly been in full working order this season, with Mullins saddling over 200 winners and accumulating almost E5.5million in prize-money to ensure he finished well ahead of Gordon Elliott in second and Henry de Bromhead in third.
