Henry De Bromhead has come a long way from studying to be an accountant. The Irish handler and Grand National winner is now one of the most successful trainers on the National Hunt circuit.
His jockey, Rachel Blackmore, who steered Minella Times to Grand National glory, has become the superstar of the jumps scene and typifies the class of the De Bromhead operation.
Following on in the training game from his father Harry, Henry De Bromhead's stable revolves around quality not quantity, nurturing such supreme animals as eight time Grade 1 winner Sizing Europe and the marvellous mare Honeysuckle, who took the 2021 and 2022 Champion Hurdle in fine style.
He is the first trainer to win the Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase and Gold Cup in the same year.
