Willie Mullins has carved out a piece of Cheltenham history by becoming the first trainer to saddle eight winners at the four-day Festival.

The Irish handler broke Nicky Henderson's 2012 tally of seven thanks to a double with Wicklow Brave and Killultagh Vic on the final day.

"It's been fantastic," Mullins said.

"It's so hard and competitive, but we've had such a fantastic spring. We've had no sickness with any of the horses and we've had a great preparation."

Killultagh Vic (7-1) landed that all-important eighth victory in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle.

However, it remains Mullins' ambition to win the Gold Cup and the six-year-old Djakadam beat every horse bar Coneygree in the Festival highlight.

With Mullins dominating proceedings it is only right that his two jockeys, Ruby Walsh and Paul Townend, were clear in the jockeys' battle.

Walsh came out on top with four compared to Townend's three to be crowned top jockey for the ninth time.
