David Casey has been an essential part of Willie Mullins’ training operation since retiring from his successful riding career 11 years ago. Starting as a jockey for Mullins at just 17, Casey’s accolades include victories in prestigious races such as the Irish Hennessy, Galway Plate, and the Thyestes Chase. Notably, he won the 2002 Grand Annual Chase at Cheltenham aboard Fadoudal Du Cochet and the Royal and SunAlliance Chase on Rule Supreme in 2004.
