Richard Fahey is a racehorse trainer, based in Malton, North Yorkshire. He has saddled over 30 Group race winners in the UK, Ireland, France and Canada. Group 1 winners include Ribchester in the 2016 Group 1 Prix Jacques Le Marois in Deauville. Garswood in the 2014 Prix Maurice de Gheest, Mayson in the 2012 Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket and Wootton Bassett in the 2010 Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp. In 2015 Fahey equalled the record for the most calendar wins with 235. He finished second in the Trainers Championship with prize money of 3.8 million pounds. He has trained over 2,500 winners both over the jumps and on the flat.
Richard Fahey has built his training career on the back of a successful stint as a jockey. 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 in the 1988–89 season.
From starting out, in the summer of 1993, from Manor Farm, Butterwick, near Malton, with a modest string which barely reached double-figures, Fahey has never looked back.
2002 Fahey got his name on the Royal Ascot roll of honour courtesy of Superior Premium – a colt he’d bought as a yearling for only 2,800gns- who clinched a 20–1 triumph in the Cork And Orrery Stakes under Johnny Murtagh.
2005 saw Fahey make the move to Musley Bank Stables, Malton, his current base and in 2006 he went through the £1 million prize money barrier.
2008 he saddled more than 100 winners for the first time, prize money was up to £1.2 million.
In 2010 Fahey burst through the £2 million prize money barrier with 181 winners in Britain. He also saddled his first Group One winner with Wootton Bassett in the 2010 Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp.
