Patrick Mullins, (born 5 December 1989)[2] also known as PW Mullins, is an Irish amateur National Hunt jockey and assistant trainer from County Carlow.[2] He is based mainly in Ireland, riding for his father Willie Mullins, and acting as assistant trainer to him. Mullins rode Nick Rockett to the 2025 Randox Grand National title.[3] His rides have earned more than €3.8m and £1.5m in prize money in the five seasons between 2020/21 and 2024/5.[4] As an amateur, Mullins does not receive a fee for riding or a share of prize money.[5] He has won the Galway Hurdle on three occasions, and Cheltenham's Champion Bumper on four occasions, including with Champagne Fever in 2012.[2][6]
