Show Notes
History made. Debate ignited.
Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Joe from the Ginger Joe Sports Show to review an extraordinary 2025 Grand National — where Willie Mullins became the first trainer ever to saddle the 1-2-3 in the world’s most iconic steeplechase.
🎯 Nick Rockett, under a vintage ride from Patrick Mullins, led home I Am Maximus and Grangeclare West for a famous family victory — and a moment that may well define a new era in jumps racing.
The panel breaks down:
- 🔥 The genius of Willie Mullins — and why the British trainers’ title now looks a formality.
- 📉 Falling Grand National viewing figures on ITV — what went wrong?
- 💔 The tragic loss of Celebre D’Allen — and a tough but fair look at the Michael Nolan controversy, the ethics of blame, and the rising pressure from animal rights groups.
Is racing at a crossroads, even in a week of brilliance?
🎧 Tune in for full analysis, debate, and insight on the race that shook Aintree — and the sport.
