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 400 winners since then, John continues to go from strength to strength, finishing seventh in the Irish National Hunt Trainers’ Championship.
His strike-rate in Britain is hugely impressive and notable winners include successes at the Cheltenham Festival, Punchestown Festival and Aintree Grand National meeting.
We are really excited to have the beautiful fillies Amina and Something Fabulous in training with John in 2025.
