Willie Mullins is the 2016 Galway Races leading trainer to end Dermot Weld's near two decade reign

Dermot Weld has been dethroned as leading trainer at the Galway Races for the first time since 1997 as Willie Mullins' nine winners saw him take the title for the first time.

The final day festivities at the Galway came to an end this evening.

Weld had entered this year's festival with a chance to make it 19 straight years as leading trainer.

But victories for Alelchi Inois and Devil's Bride today brought Mullins' seven-day haul to nine winners in Galway, three more than the favourite.

Ruby Walsh was crowned champion jumps rider for the week with seven winners, while Pat Smullen picked up the Flat title with six winners, just one more than Declan McDonogh.
