Emmet Mullins
Emmet Mullins, born in 1989/90, is an Irish National Hunt trainer and former jockey from County Carlow. He comes from a racing family: his father, George Mullins, was an amateur jockey who ran a racehorse transport business, and his uncle is trainer Willie Mullins.
As a jockey from 2006–07 to 2014–15, Mullins rode 83 winners, including seven at Grade 2 or 3 level. He rode a Cheltenham Festival winner on Sir Des Champs in 2011 in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle, and his only ride on Faugheen won the Dorans Pride Novice Hurdle at Limerick in December 2013.
Mullins became a trainer in 2016 and set up his yard near his uncle at Bagenalstown, County Carlow. He earned his first Cheltenham Festival win as a trainer in 2021 when The Shunter won the Plate Handicap Chase, and in 2022 he trained Noble Yeats, the Grand National winner ridden by the owner’s son Sam Waley-Cohen.
In June 2020 he was fined €5,000 by the Irish Horse Racing Regulatory Board and banned from racecourses for three months after breaching COVID-19 protocols at Leopardstown.
