Stanley Mulcaster had one win as an amateur before turning professional and adding another 16. He was almost certainly related in some way (possibly a son) to George Mulcaster, who won the Scottish Grand National as an amateur rider but is best remembered as the trainer of the 1886 Grand National winner Old Joe.

Stan’s first success was at Carlisle on Easter Monday, April 5, 1926, when his mount, Chin Wag, narrowly won the Open Hunters’ Chase, beating Rough Water by a length and a half.

He had his first professional ride when Retina was unplaced in the Cowthorpe Hurdle at Wetherby on October 27, 1926. He achieved his first victories in the paid ranks when registering a double at the Catterick Bridge meeting on March 11, 1927, first landing the Masham Handicap Chase on Fuglebird by a length, then in the very next race just getting the better of future trainer Avril Vasey when Retina triumphed in the Killerby Selling Handicap Hurdle by a short head.
