John McConnell

A qualified vet, John had always held aspirations to become a trainer and has made great strides since training his first winner back in 2005.

With over 350 winners since then, John continues to go from strength to strength, finishing seventh in the Irish National Hunt Trainers’ Championship in 2022/23.

His strike-rate in Britain is a hugely impressive 52-218 (up to May 2023), and notable winners in recent months included successes at the Cheltenham Festival, Punchestown Festival and Aintree Grand National meeting.

We are really excited to have our first horses with John for the 2023-24 campaign, with two gorgeous fillies in Amina and Innatendue.
