Racing legend Walsh says trainer Mullins will be still jumping for joy
WILLIE Mullins will never top the feeling of saddling the Randox Grand National winner for his son Patrick, said racing legend Ted Walsh.
Patrick guided Nick Rockett at Aintree to lead home a one-two-three for the master of Closutton, with defending champion I Am Maximus the runner-up and stablemate Grangeclare West third.
Meetingofthewaters in fifth gave Mullins four of the top five finishers on Saturday.
Walsh trained Papillon to win the race 25 years with his son Ruby in the saddle, just a year after Tommy and Paul Carberry had achieved the feat with BobbyJo.
Walsh said: "It was a huge thing. You only realise how big it is to Willie when you've been there yourself. There's no other feeling like it.
