Richard Fahey

Richard Fahey has built his training career on the back of a successful stint as a jockey. Although refreshingly self-deprecating about his riding abilities, he chalked-up just over 100 winners, under both codes, in ten years in the saddle, the highlight of which was sharing the conditional jockeys’ title.

​

“I wasn’t good enough, wasn’t enjoying it and couldn’t see a future in it, so I gave it up before it gave me up,” is Fahey’s succinct reflection of his days as a jockey.

​

For a while afterwards, he concentrated on buying and selling a few horses and running a livery yard before he was encouraged by friends to give the training game a whirl. It’s a decision he has never had cause to regret.

​

Based in Malton, North Yorkshire, Richard has, over recent years, made significant improvements to his yard at Musley Bank, including the addition of an American style barn which created an extra 44 stables as well as a furlong long indoor ride. The mile long all weather and grass gallops, which graze the edge of the picturesque Howardian Hillside set the backdrop for the early morning work which the 200 or so horses that are on Richard’s books will undertake each day.

 

We all know that nothing in life, succeeds like success, and Richard Fahey is living proof that that same applies in racing. If you asked Richard what his key to success is he would certainly say it would be the team that works with him. From his assistant trainer, Robin O’Ryan, his pool of talented jockeys and the help from his dedicated office/yard staff they have triumphed in shaping a winning formula that will maintain the momentum of success for years to come…
