THIS ‘absolutely priceless’ video shows Willie Mullins and Nicky Henderson belting out karaoke at Cheltenham.
The legendary trainers quite lightly let their hair down after the most stressful week of the year.
Legendary trainers Willie Mullins and Nicky Henderson stole the show with their karaoke singing
The duo belted out Queen’s classic ‘We Are The Champions’
Hendo looked happy to let his Irish rival do the bulk of the singing
But they both celebrated in style at the end of the biggest racing week of the year
Mullins was celebrating being crowned top trainer for the 12th time – and seventh in a row – after banging in ten winners.
But he saw odds-on Galopin Des Champs dethroned in his bid for a third straight Gold Cup.
Henderson was drowning sorrows of sorts too after seeing Constitution Hill and Jonbon flop.
His two big hopes were turned over at odds-on in the Champion Hurdle – which turned out to be the most dramatic Cheltenham race ever – and Champion Chase respectively.
But any Cheltenham winner marks a great week and Hendo was able to celebrate Jango Baie’s brilliant win in the Arkle, where he hit 300-1 in-running and saved the bookies £50million.
As well as a one-two in the Pertemps thanks to winner Doddiethegreat and Jeriko Du Reponet.
Given all that it was probably fitting, then, that the two sung Queen’s awesome hit ‘We Are The Champions’.
Mullins tried his best to pass the mic to his good friend and rival but Henderson looked keen to let the Irishman have his own way.
Punters were absolutely loving the clip, which appeared to be filmed from the Princess Royal stand after racing had finished last Friday.
One said: “Brilliant to see two top trainers enjoying themselves.”
Another commented: “Absolutely priceless! Willie Mullins and Nicky Henderson singing ‘We Are The Champions.’ This made me smile big time.”
While another joked: “Gonna tell the grandkids this was Freddie Mercury and Bono.”
