Amongst the 3,000 victories, Richard Fahey has trained four Group 1 winners, including two with Ribchester in 2017 in the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury and then the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot.
His most recent success at the highest level came with Sands of Mali with stable jockey Paul Hanagan in the QIPCO British Champions Sprint Stakes at QIPCO British Champions Day in 2018.
Paul Hanagan rode Hong Kong Harry to victory and is the jockey to have ridden the most winners for Fahey, with the pair enjoying 895 successes together. Speaking of Fahey’s achievement, Hanagan said: “I joined Richard when I was 17 years old and we have both grown together ever since, enjoying some fantastic days and moments together.”
“There is no way I would have been able to achieve what I have achieved in my career, for example the two Champion Jockey titles, if it weren’t for Richard. We have become great friends and I’m over the moon for him to have reached this fantastic milestone.”
On top of Richard Fahey’s 2,859 British winners on the flat, he has also trained 141 winners on the British jumps circuit.
