A recruit from the pony racing circuit, where he rode over 150 winners, Rossa Ryan is the son of Co. Galway National Hunt trainer David Ryan. As such, he was always destined to become a jockey of one kind or another, much in the same way that some of us are bound to see what fortunates aawait us on the best au online casino sites. Indeed, Ryan Jnr. rode his first winner, Solar Heat, at Dundalk in December, 2016, as a 16-year-old. By that stage, he had already had a successful trial with Richard Hannon and, having become apprenticed to the Wiltshire trainer the following January, began his progression through the ranks.

Ryan missed out to Jason Watson in the apprentice jockeys’ championship in 2018, but still rode 78 winners in the calendar year, which was more than enough to ride out his claim. In 2019, as a fully-fledged professional, he rode 65 winners, including his first Group winner, Duke Of Hazzard, in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood. In 2020, he rode 63 winners, including a maiden Royal Ascot success on Highland Chief in the Golden Gates Handicap. He also became retained rider for AMO Racing Limited and rode Devilwala, trained by Ralph Beckett, in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf at Keeneland, Kentucky.

At the time of writing, Ryan has ridden 64 winners in 2021 so far, including 15 since the start of the Flat jockeys’ championship on May 1, which currently places him fifth in the table. He faces a spell on the sidelines after breaking his collarbone in a fall at Wolverhampton, which has placed his participation at Royal Ascot in jeopardy.

Formerly a successful National Hunt jockey, with 126 winners to his name, David O’Meara joined the training ranks in 2010 and wasted little time in making a mark in his new profession. Indeed, like those experiencing a streak of luck on https://casinocentral.co.za/ he saddled his first winner, Simple Jim, at Redcar on June 19, 2010, just nine days after receiving his training licence. In his first three seasons, he sent out 25, 48 and 69 winners from his original base

in Nawton, North Yorkshire. Highlights of his early training career included his first Group winner, Blue Bajan, ridden by newly-appointed stable jockey Daniel Tudhope, in the Henry II Stakes at Sandown in May, 2011.

In 2013, O’Meara enjoyed his best season so far, numerically, with 136 winners, but has sent out over a hundred winners in every season since. In 2014, he saddled his first Group 1 winner, G Force, in the Haydock Sprint Cup and his second, Move In Time, in the Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp less than a month later. Further success at the highest level followed, courtesy of Amazing Maria, in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket and the Prix Rothschild at Deauville, and Mondialiste, in the Woodbine Mile Stakes, in 2015.

The following January, O’Meara moved to his current base, the purpose-built, 120-acre Willow Farm in Upper Helmsley, North Yorkshire. At the last count, he had saddled nine Group 1, or Grade 1, winners and, on July 7, 2020, passed the landmark of 1,000 winners on the Flat in Britain.
