At it again: BoyleSports pay out early on Willie Mullins as British champion trainer

IMAGO

Irish bookie BoyleSports have recently announced an early payout on famed horse trainer Willie Mullins to win the British Jumps Trainers’ Championship, despite the fact he is trailing Dan Skelton narrowly in the standings.

Indeed, only £8,005 separates the pair with a single race left in the season. The finale will take place on 26 April at Sandown and it is evident that the bookmakers have already seen enough to pay out all bets early.

This applies to all bets and stakes placed on Mullins before 11:15am on Tuesday 15 April and it could cost them a fortune if Skelton can claim victory.

Mullins is currently odds of 1/6 to win, with Skelton’s odds standing at 9/2, but BoyleSports have seen enough.

"As the ‘home of the early payout’, our customers don’t have to wait for the finish line,” said Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for BoyleSports.

"Willie has rewritten the script all season and we’ve seen enough already to believe he’s going to finish the job in style!"

Earlier this year, the bookmaker announced that they would be paying out early on all bets for Ireland to win the Six Nations Championship, despite the fact they still had to play France.

This decision didn’t exactly work out in their favour, as the Irish finished second in the standings, losing to an inspired France 42-27 in Dublin to lose momentum in the race for the title.

More recently, BoyleSports paid out customers who backed Rory McIlroy to win the Masters after he took sole possession of the lead following the third round at Augusta.

He did go on to win the tournament, defeating Justin Rose in a playoff to seal the career Grand Slam after 11 years of trying.

Mullins is arguably one of the finest trainers of all time and has enjoyed plenty of recent success, most notably at the Grand National a few weeks ago.

His son Patrick rode Nick Rockett – who was a 33/1 shot – to victory at Aintree. I Am Maximus and Grangeclare West finished second and third respectively, ensuring Mullins landed a clean sweep on the podium.

The 68-year-old followed this up with a 1-2 at the Scottish Grand National last week. Captain Cody, a 9/1 shot, won the race while Klarc Kent finished second and it ensured a solid two weeks for Mullins at both races.

BoyleSports certainly believe that Mullins will claim the trainer’s title next week, but Mullins isn’t taking anything for granted against Skelton.

"Dan won't be standing still so he'll probably win it, and if he does he'll feel like he's won a proper title," said Mullins following the Scottish National.

Those who backed him will be enjoying their winnings amid the recent announcement. With McIlroy eyeing another few major titles this summer, BoyleSports won't be finished with their early payout promotion. That’s for sure.
