Welcome Back, Oisin

This evening, we are delighted to welcome back Oisin Murphy to race riding. His brilliance in the saddle has been lighting up racecourses since he was crowned champion apprentice in 2014. Recognition quickly followed when, in 2016, he was appointed first jockey to the powerful Qatar Racing; then, in 2017, he rode his first Group 1 winner aboard Aclaim in the Prix de la Foret. His association with such great horses as Kameko, on whom he won the 2000 Guineas; Alcohol Free, winning the Cheveley Park Stakes, the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Sussex Stakes; and Roaring Lion, winning the Eclipse Stakes, the Juddmonte International and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes took his career right to the top.

In 2019, he was crowned ‘champion jockey’ for the first time, before going on to take the title for the next two years. We have missed his style, panache and determination in the saddle and hope that tonight will be the first step to another champion jockey’s title in the not-too-distant future.

Good luck, Oisin!
