Patrick Mullins became the winningmost amateur rider in Irish racing history when gaining his 546th success on Queens Boulevard for his champion trainer father Willie at Sligo on Sunday.
Mullins, 28, had equalled Ted Walsh's benchmark figure when scoring on Irish Lass at Limerick on Saturday and took the record outright by landing the bumper at Sligo.
As for his record-breaking exploits, the rider said: "It's something I was told about a few years ago when I got the record in the calendar year [72 in 2012] for an amateur, and becoming winningmost rider is something I've been aiming for.
"It would be nice to get to 1,000 winners. It's taken me 12 years to get this far, so if I rode until I was 40, maybe I can. My father did that and so I might do. That's the next aim, but it's a long way off."
No amateur rider in Britain has ever won anything like as many as 546 races in a career, so the joint Irish/British record is held by whoever holds the Irish record.
And Walsh, whose total Mullins has now surpassed by one, believes the new record-holder is only just getting started.
"I'm delighted for Patrick, and if he wants to do it I can see him doubling his total over the next ten years," he said.
"He's a highly skilled rider with all the attributes. Tactically he's very good, and I thought his winning ride on Rathvinden in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham in March was as good a ride as you could wish to see."
