Renowned for his brilliant judge of pace Danny Mullins trusts the process not the results

He remains one of the busiest jockeys in the weigh room, with good reason. Danny Mullins has recovered from setbacks and injury and always takes the road less travelled to success.

“We had a tragedy here during the first lockdown last year. Paddy McKeon, a real good owner of mine, lost his daughter. The little girl was a huge racing fan. She had pictures of Danny riding their mare Presenting Mahler all over her bedroom wall and it was a desperate blow for everyone when she died.

“I rang Danny in an awful way over it and what did he do? He jumped into Mags’s Jeep and brought the horsebox up to get Presenting Mahler and take her to the funeral. Danny led that mare in front of the hearse at the funeral and you wouldn’t believe how much that meant to the family.
