Mullins wins at Breeders’ Cup with Ethical Diamond

Willie Mullins, the Grand National-winning trainer, won the Breeders’ Cup Turf with a stunning late run, setting a course record.

The 20-1 chance won one of Flat racing’s biggest races under Dylan Browne McMonagle, with more than £2 million going to the winner at Del Mar in California. The 20-1 chance spent the majority of his early career jumping over hurdles.

Ethical Diamond, the Ebor Handicap winner in August, came out on top against second-placed El Cordobes and Rebel’s Romance, with Minnie Hauk out of the mix.

It marks the most recent milestone in Mullins’ remarkable career, which he better known as a jump racing trainer, who won the National in April with Nick Rockett.

With my son Patrick aboard, this might be closer to winning the Grand National. Mullins, 69, said, “I couldn’t believe it.

McMonagle, 22, the newly crowned Irish champion, described the training as “unbelievable.” There isn’t much bigger than this.

The Breeders’ Cup Classic, the meeting’s feature race, was won by Forever Young for the first time by Forever Young.

The third-placed Saudi Cup winner, trained by Yoshito Yahagi and trained by Ryusei Sakai, defeated Sierra Leone and Fierceness in the end this time.

This is similar to the Japanese winning the football World Cup, Yahagi said.

The victory for Godolphin trainer Charlie Appleby and jockey William Buick was attributed to Notable Speech, which marked his fourth Breeders’ Cup Mile success in five years.

Frankie Dettori, a retiring jockey who placed third on Khaadem in the Turf Sprint, had no fairytale ending.

Dettori announced on Wednesday that his final ride in the United States would be at Del Mar in California, before a farewell trip to South America.

The British jump racing season accelerated earlier on Saturday when Djelo defeated Pic D’Orhy and trainer Venetia Williams and jockey Charlie Deutsch won the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby.
