Gordon Elliott

In 2011 he bought Cullentra House Farm and created a state-of-the-art training complex with stabling for over 200 horses.

He has gone on to rival Willie Mullins as the leading Irish trainer and a major force at Cheltenham and Aintree festivals, culminating in the back-to-back National victories of Tiger Roll.

Gordon Elliott – Key Trainer Stats

Elliott’s first winner as a trainer was at Perth in 2006.

The following year he became the youngest-ever Grand National winning trainer.

He had to wait until 2011 for his first Cheltenham Festival winner when Chicago Grey won the National Hunt Chase. He claimed his 34th Festival victory in 2022.

Elliott’s best season numerically came in 2017/18 when he trained a record 210 winners.

He has sent out over 100 winners in each of the past eight seasons. This despite his twelve-month ban in 2021.

Gordon Elliott Big Race Wins

Elliott won the 2016 Cheltenham Gold Cup with Don Cossack and was top trainer at the festival in 2017 and 2018.

He won the Irish Grand National in 2018 with General Principle, one of 13 runners from his stable. He won the Aintree Grand National the same year with Tiger Roll who followed up in 2019, the first horse to win the race twice since three-time winner Red Rum.

Elliott has won the Irish Gold Cup twice with Delta Work (2020) and Conflated (2022), both owned by Gigginstown House Stud.

Apple’s Jade carried the same colours to numerous victories, notably the 2019 Irish Champion Hurdle and three successive victories in the Hatton’s Grace Hurdle.

Gordon Elliott – Most Famous Victories

Elliott will always be linked to Tiger Roll, not only for the horse’s two Grand National victories but also for his five Cheltenham Festival wins. He won the Triumph Hurdle, National Hunt Chase and three Cross Country Chases. Tiger Roll went agonisingly close to making it six in total but was denied by stable companion Delta Work on his final career start.

Don Cossack was a winning favourite in the 2016 Cheltenham Gold Cup, beating Djakadam and Don Poli. Unfortunately, he sustained a serious injury when being prepared for the Punchestown Festival and never raced again.
