      Galopin Des Champs Heads Willie Mullins Dublin Racing Festival Runners 2025<\/h2>\n

      Many horse racing<\/a> fans bill the upcoming Dublin Racing Festival<\/a> as the ‘Willie Mullins Festival<\/strong><\/em>‘ and to be honest there is good reason for that – the champion Irish jumps trainer has dominated the event most seasons and looks set to do so again in 2025.<\/p>\n

      In total, Mullins has won 47 Dublin Racing Festival races – since the meeting first started in 2018. With 34 of those in Grade Ones.<\/p>\n

      Twelve months ago, in 2024, racegoers saw the Willie Mullins Dublin Racing Festival runners<\/strong> win an incredible NINE of the 15 races – meaning the Closutton team won 60% (see all their 2024 winners below).<\/p>\n

      Oh, and eight of those nine Dublin Racing Festival winners came in the ALL the Grade Ones. He currently trains all the market leaders for these races again in 2025 – so could lightning strike twice?<\/p>\n

      Therefore, the best horse racing betting sites in the UK<\/a> will be treading carefully again this year as the two-day meeting gets going on Saturday 1st February and ends the following day.<\/p>\n

      The meeting has also catapulted itself as the main Cheltenham Festival trials meeting – with many of the ‘big-gun’<\/em> horses set to be in action at Leopardstown one last time before heading to Prestbury Park in March.<\/p>\n

      One of those is the two-time Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Galopin Des Champs<\/strong>, who will be trying to win the Irish Gold Cup – a race he’s also won for the last two seasons (watch his 2024 win below).<\/p>\n

      Galopin Des Champs currently heads the market with the best betting sites in the UK<\/a>, not only for this race on Saturday 1st February – but also the Gold Cup on March 14th as he tries to become the first horse since Best Mate to win three-in-a-row.<\/p>\n

      A win in the Irish Gold Cup and this Willie Mullins Dublin Racing Festival runner will be an even bigger Cheltenham banker<\/a> come March.<\/p>\n
