What's happening in Horse Racing
teams.ie Editorial TeamIrish racing legend Willie Mullins has cemented his place in Aintree folklore with a remarkable third consecutive Grand National victory, as I Am Maximus stormed home to claim the 2026 title in stunning fashion—the first winner of the race in nearly five decades to match Red Rum's legacy. The veteran trainer, who continues to defy age and deliver at the sport's biggest stage, reflected on the emotional triumph as "a dream come true," showcasing why he remains the master of the jumping game. While Mullins was celebrating on Merseyside, the Scottish Grand National delivered its own shock at Ayr as 20-1 outsider Kap Vert caused a major upset, though the week was darkened by the jailing of Grand National trainer Evan Williams for a shocking assault on a dog walker with a hockey stick.
