Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 3 Journalists Share Posted May 3 The six 2024/25 Irish National Hunt season champions were confirmed at Punchestown on Saturday afternoon. JP McManus was named the champion owner for the 22nd time, and he said, “To be crowned champion owner is a huge honour for my family and me. Huge thanks to all the trainers, jockeys and stable staff and all who play a huge part in our success.” Other season-end leaders were: Willie Mullins, who was winning the champion trainer title for the 19th time; Mullins's son Patrick, who earned his 17th champion amateur title; seven-time champion jockey Paul Townend; champion female amateur Jody Townend; and champion conditional jockey Tiernan Power Roche. “I thought we could never top last season but this season has been the stuff of dreams,” said the elder Mullins. “Patrick winning the Randox Grand National was a very special moment for Jackie and me which will be hard to top. We have tremendous owners and none of our success would be possible without their support nor our hugely dedicated team who leave no stone unturned when it comes to the care of our horses, so a huge thanks has to go to them.” The post Irish Jumps Champions Crowned At Punchestown appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
