Limerick’s Guinness 00 Faugheen Novice Steeplechase may deliver the ideal Christmas gift for Patrick Mullins, as the Grand National-winning jockey looks to furt
www.racingtv.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
-
Patrick Mullins, the amateur jockey and son of Willie Mullins, has been involved in Grand National coverage in 2025. One article notes he rode Nick Rockett to Grand National glory but was subsequently suspended for eight days in April 2025 after the post-race review of that ride. While the win was celebrated, the suspension relates to the ride itself rather than the horse or race result.[1]
-
In early 2026, Racing TV discussed Mullins’ ongoing plans and the Mullins team aiming to keep the Randox Grand National trophy in their Closutton yard, with talk of racing his mounts and preparing for potential spring entries, though no derailment of that plan was reported as of February 2026.[2]

Overall profile: Mullins has had high-profile successes including Grand National victory as an amateur rider, and his family’s stable has frequently dominated Irish racing in that period. His career is characterized by notable victories in Ireland and Britain, with occasional licensing and eligibility discussions tied to amateur status.[3][7][9]
Key points to verify or watch:
- Whether Mullins’ 2025 suspension affected any of his subsequent rides or led to changes in amateur-status restrictions or licensing discussions in 2026.[1]
- Updates on Patrick Mullins’ plans for Cheltenham or other major meetings in late 2025–2026 and how those were affected by his suspension or by the Mullins team’s scheduling.[5][2]
