Willie Mullins was in tears as Nick Rockett shocked the world

After watching his horses come in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th in the National, a visibly emotional Mullins stopped to speak to ITV.

Mullins, 68, said “That was some result” – before appearing to choke up.

As the Irishman struggled to get his words out, Matt Chapman put his arm around him, telling him to “take a moment”.

After seeing Mullins again struggle for words, Chapman told Mullins “We’ll come back in a minute”, ending the interview in order to give Mullins more time to process his emotions.
