Thomas P. Queally (born 8 October 1984 in Dungarvan, County Waterford, Ireland) is a Thoroughbred horse racing jockey. He is best known as the regular jockey of Frankel. He was first jockey to leading trainer Sir Henry Cecil. Queally is best known for his association with the Cecil-trained pair Midday and Frankel.
The son of Declan Queally, who trains a small string of Thoroughbreds in County Waterford, Queally attended to Dungarvan Christian Brothers School. He earned his first win on 13 April 2000 at Ireland's Clonmel Racecourse. 2009 was Tom Queally's breakthrough year, in which he won his first of five Group One races aboard Art Connoisseur in the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot. By 1 August, aboard Midday, he was winning his fourth Group One event, the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood; and on 7 November he again rode Midday to victory in the richest win of his career, the US$2 million Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita in California.
