Elliott launches challenge to Mullins

Gordon Elliott has continued his challenge to multiple Irish champion National Hunt trainer Willie Mullins with six winners at Navan.

Elliott has saddled more than 400 runners since the season began with Paddy Power cutting him to 6-4 to win the title for the first time with Mullins at 1-3.

“It was one of those days where I thought we’d plenty of chances, but to have six winners is just unbelievable,” Elliott said.

“When everything is going so well you hope that things work out and it’s great.

“Any day you have a winner is great but to have six on one card, I can’t believe it.”

Mullins trained the only other winner on the seven-race program.
