The dust has not yet settled on the Dublin Racing Festival and already Willie Mullins’ mind has honed-in on next month’s invasion of Cheltenham. Symptomatic of the current programme of horse racing, there is no time to rest on the laurels, but the 66-year-old admits he is enjoying the challenge as much now as ever he did.
"I'm surprised at how much fun I get out of it compared to what I thought I would,” he admitted. “It's just a different aspect of your life and I have to say I'm amazed at how much fun I get out of training now. I have fantastic clients who enjoy racing and because they enjoy it, I enjoy it. My whole team here makes my job very easy.
