Willies mother died last month, aged 94. 100 race wins and no trainer comes close. This Racing Record may never be broken. Joe lynskey, bbc news. Well, lets get some reaction from the course. John hunt was commentating for the bbc this afternoon. I spoke to him a short time ago and began by asking him what the atmosphere was like when that third came in. It was tremendously popular, thats for sure. Willie mullins, making that a century of winners, a very popular horse written by a very popular horse written by a very popularjockey, his son patrick as well. You can imagine all hours into the afternoon, another well fancied Willie Mullins horse goes in, yeah, that pretty much brought the house down, but a great achievement ending a great date and a great couple of days so far from Willie Mullins. Six wins already for Willie Mullins over just two racing days. Two days to come as well who knows where he may end up . We come as well who knows where he may end up . Come as well who knows where he ma endutil . May end up . 100 wins at cheltenham, so far, but may end up . 100 wins at cheltenham, so far.

His Nearest Pursuer in the table of winners here at cheltenham is nikki henderson, but nikki languages over 20 winners behind this total extraordinary. He started his Training Career ten years previous to Willie Mullins, when Mickey Henderson start having winners at cheltenham, Willie Mullins is not even known at his own house when you think paul nichols, 14 time champion in great britain, has not even reached 50 wins that also helps put into perspective this extraordinary achievement done by Willie Mullins. Incredible, isnt it . A complete different trainer was behind the winner of the Queen Mother Champion Chase. What a great win for her as well. It chase. What a great win for her as well. , , chase.

She had a nice winter yesterday afternoon. This win today was unexpected, because the Queen Mother Champion Chase had a favourite, who made a mistake at the third fence, and then a terrible blunder at the fifth fence, and that stopped him in his stride. He was quickly pulled up afterwards. We understand he is ok afterwards. We understand he is ok after that, afterwards. We understand he is ok afterthat, but afterwards. We understand he is ok after that, but nobody expected that, the favourite of the week, and that, the favourite of the week, and that left the race wide open for anyone of the Faivre Meaning Runners in the race, and it was Rachael Blackmore who scored. She held off the runner up with a degree of comfort stub another amazing Success Story for Rachael Blackmore. Not long ago, she was winning the cheltenham gold cup. She won races, not long ago she was the top jockey. And that is before your member the grand National Success as well. John hunts talking to me there we remember. The last round of the six nations is this weekend and wales have named their squad ahead of it. But the big news from their camp is that theirfinal game against italy will be the last for george north. After 14 years and 120 caps for wales, the centre has announced that he will be retiring after the six nations. Hell be bowing out at his home ground the principality, but if wales lose to italy on saturday, his final game will see north and the squad collect the wooden spoon for the first time in 21 years. Sam richards has more. A familiar and welcoming sight. Oh, and george north all the way what a try. George north breaking defences and scoring tries. Now, his decorated International Career will come to an end at a place where he made so many memories. Ive been very fortunate to live a dream that not many people get to do. And, like, to be able to do it at home in front of a sold out stadium, with my family around me, seems like the best, you know, the best way for me to start my next chapter. Brought up on anglesey, north began his Rugbyjourney Playing for the north wales county, a winger with remarkable speed, power and size. Six foot four and a bit, i guess, six foot five. Size feet . Size 13 feet, a smidge over 17 stone now. Are you still growing . Apparently so. By the age of 18, he was putting on the red jersey of wales, tearing through france in his six nations debut. What followed was a world class career. I loved every single second of it. Ive cherished every single second, the highs and the lows, which theres been plenty of, the people ive met, the friendships ive got, the coaches ive worked with along the way. Like, i couldnt have written it better myself, to be honest. There have been difficult moments, too. Between 2014 and 2015, north suffered four blows to the head playing rugby. It sparked a wide debate over Concussion Protocol in the sport. But despite the concerns, north continued to play a pivotal role in the welsh set up, now helping through a new generation of welsh players with valuable advice. Never let anyone tell you that youre done. You work until youre content, and thats when you can walk away with a smile on your face. Welsh fans will be desperate to see wales avoid a wooden spoon on saturday in any way possible, but what theyd give to see one final moment of magic like this from an all time great. Sam richards, bbc news. An emotional george north there. We will have news later in the programme from the launch of the womens tournament. Luton captain tom lockyer will return to bournemouth� s ground for the First Time Since he suffered a Cardiac Arrest there back in december. The game had to be abandoned as lockyer received life saving treatment on the pitch. He was later fitted with an implantable cardio verter defibrillator. The match has been rearranged for tonight and lockyer will be at the vitality to thank the club, their medics and the fans for their support. Hes since become a father for the first time, and his manager rob edwards says returning to play is not forefront of his mind at the moment. Hes got bigger things on his mind at the moment, a new baby, a new arrival, and, yeah, he is in. That is his main focus right now. That being said, i think going forward, good luck to have him here on a weekly basis and being around it more because we will be able to lean on his experiences and he will be able to help us. There is a massive disparity between the Premier League and the English Football League which needs to be addressed those were the words of Executive Director of preston north end, peter ridsdale, speaking to the bbc earlier today.

Today that cliff edge has got so sharp, all we are seeing every year is the same clubs getting promoted out of the champion ship mac and he seemed clubs coming down just look at the Premier League at the moment. The bottom three teams are the clubs that went up last year. Look at the championship at the moment. Three of the top four were the team came down last season. There is a massive disparity. I do not think anybody should be kitted that there is not money the Premier League, because that cannot be true. Money the Premier League, because that cannot be true. That cannot be true.
