Flat Horse Trainer Instagram Pages (Completed)

Another day another drachma. As the quote goes: Alles hat ein Ende, nur die Wurst hat zwei. Translated for those of the non German persuasion. 'Everything has an end, only a sausage has two.'  

Anyway, I'm pleased to say the Flat Horse Trainer Instagram Links have been complete. All these things take time, but we're getting there. This is the first time we had anything to do with Instagram. If you are feeling adventurous, take a look.

Next on tell list will be Flat Horse Trainer YouTube links, which will be groundbreaking for Horse Trainer Directory. 

It will see the conclusion to the Flat trainer website and social media updates. 

I will check through my Horses In Training book just to note a few of the smaller stables which may slip through the net. I will check the status of a few trainers with regard to Flat, National Hunt or Dual Purpose. It isn't always so clear although I know 95% are correct. Anyway, I hope a few readers are noticing Horse Trainer Directory. 

The website is doing a little better in the search engines and the traffic is increasing. 

Be good to get the whole site completed. 

Flat Horse Trainer YouTube Page Links

 


Flat Horse Trainer YouTube Page Links. Save time by using this hub to find horse trainer information without using search engines. Most horse trainers detailed have a few videos and then gave it up as a bad job. However, I have detailed them for reference and hope they may resume at some point.

Willie Mullins Terrible Aintree Grand National Record

Willie Mullins Terrible Aintree Grand National Record
My brother has a new website called Grand National Winners (.co.uk). 

Well, I've been writing original articles rather than using AI, which to be fair doesn't seem to know much at all unless it is prompted to the point of almost writing the article yourself. Anyway, I've written about 20 articles with many up to 1000 words. I don't mind writing so its not too much of a chore. 

However, I happened to be researching the performance of Willie Mullins Aintree Grand National runners since his first which dated back to 2000. It wasn't a labour of love, more like finding myself halfway down a very long road and thinking when will this end... 

I didn't quite realise how many horses the Carlow trainer had sent to the most famous steeplechase of them all. By the time I'd finished the article I felt like I'd ridden one of his National runners, which fell at The Chair. 

At points I was almost asleep in the chair.

The things you do to put a few quid in your pocket. 

To be fair, by the time I had finished, I felt like I needed a cup of tea in my big horse racing mug.  

I shouldn't complain, hey. Even Mr Mullins started somewhere working for his father, Paddy. 

Anyway, I was shocked how many horses he had sent to the Aintree Grand National. If my research is correct, he's sent 63 runners to Aintree from 2000 - 2024. For all you anoraks out there, his first runner was Micko's Dream a 14/1 shot ridden by Jason Titley who fell at the first fence. After looking at his Aintree Grand National record it may have been an omen for future years. 

Willie Mullins is a fantastic trainer, which is seen with 17 Irish champion trainer titles, the leading trainer at the Cheltenham Festival with over 100 winners, and putting the cherry on the horse racing cake he was crowned British jump racing trainer' championship in 2023-24. 

Exceptional. 

The last Irish trainer to do this was Vincent O'Brien some 70 years ago (1952-53). 

I don't think Willie Mullins will detail the Aintree Grand National as his blue ribbon event. In fact, his performance has been pretty dire with just two winners from sixty-three horses and just eight from sixty-three win and place. A percentage rate of just 3% and 13% respectively. 

Willie Mullins Aintree Grand National Winners: 

2005 Hedgehunter 7/1, ridden by Ruby Walsh. A very popular win for owner Trevor Hemmings. 

2024 I Am Maximus 7/1jf, ridden by Paul Townend for J.P.McManus. 

Willie Mullins Aintree Grand National Place: 

2006 - Hedgehunter 2nd 5/1jf

2008 - Snowy Morning 3rd 16/1  

2018 - Pleasant Company 2nd 25/1 

2019 - Rathvinden 3rd 8/1 

2021 - Burrows Saint 4th 9/1

2023 - Gaillard Du Mesnil 3rd 10/1 

In 2024 he sent 7 horses to compete, which was a fair proportion of the field considering only 32 took part. 

It will be interesting to see how he fairs in 2025.

Flat Horse Trainer Instagram Page Links

One of our newest pages on Horse Trainer Directory. Many trainers use social media and Instagram is probably the best for showing the magic of horse training in all its aspects from on the gallops to at the races. Here we have an A - Z of all Flat Horse Trainers Instagram Pages, these links make it so much quicker to find information rather than use a slow search engine.

Flat Horse Trainer Facebook Page Links (Updated)

Flat Horse Trainer Facebook Page Links (Updated)
It's a good day when an update is completed. I'm pleased to say the Flat Horse Trainer Facebook Page Links are done. From my calculations that is 248 links. So readers are literally two or three clicks away from accessing all this information without having to search Google which can be very time consuming. 

Don't believe me, then check 10 trainers on Horse Trainer Directory against using a search engine. 

It's at least ten times quicker. 

In fact, it is probably 100 times quicker when you try to find information which isn't there. This often happens because many horse trainers don't have a website and social media is here, there and everywhere.  

If they have a Facebook Page it is on our list. 

Find it fast. 

You can see all the info by clicking this link

In the near future, we will have a Facebook Page for all the National Hunt trainers. 

However, at present we are still working on the Flat Horse Trainer info and next on the cards are their Instagram Pages. This is something new for Horse Trainer Directory as we want to be a portal for all horse trainer social media.

Thereafter, we will be adding Horse Trainer YouTube channels. I don't think there will be quite so many using that platform as it can be a pain to edit videos. Those who do will give you lots of insight. 

I will start on these two updates this new week.
