Jonjo O’Neill is one of the great men of National Hunt Racing and he enriches our sport. As both jockey and trainer he has reached almost every height the great sport has to offer. The dignified way he dealt with and then beat cancer was heart-warming, whilst his affinity with horses and thirst for success … Continue reading
Goodbye Alberta! |

The 165th Grand National was a very special one but not for the right reasons. The Gold Cup winner at Cheltenham last month had to be put down after suffering injuries during the race. Synchronised, who was ridden by Tony McCoy fell at Becher’s Brook on the first circuit of the track, but did … Continue reading
We had mixed feelings about Synchronised, mixed because we are glad the horse won but annoyed that we had missed out backing him again! My friend Vernon Allen and I spent the day at Jackdaws with the Gold Cup Winner and Jonjo O’Neill and although we got to know everything about him did not back him … Continue reading

Yesterday was very emotional for me because of Albertas Run and his half-length defeat in the 2012 Ryanair Chase. We know of the horses courage so how could I have doubted his chances of winning this race again? He has won the author a lot of money over the years and I had the … Continue reading

After being taken out of the Gold Cup confirmation stage Albertas Run will go for a hat-trick of wins in the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival on 15th March 2012. The Ryanair is now his only option and Jonjo O’Neill said: “I took him out of the Gold Cup and the plan is … Continue reading
Whilst up at Jonjo O’Neill’s Jackdaw Castle Stables during the week we had a good look at Thehillofuisneach 2.20 Uttoxeter to check on his well being and can report the horse looked great! This Irish point winner shaped with plenty of promise in novice hurdles before confirming that his opening mark was all wrong at … Continue reading

Our The Racing Horse talked to Jonjo about Don’t Push It and asked whether he could win another Grand National. The answer was that he is wrapping him up in cotton wool. He told us: “I thought about running him at Aintree last weekend but he is so fragile that I dare not risk him … Continue reading

The Racing Horse attended the Coral Welsh Grand National Media Day at Jackdaws Castle Stables yesterday to get Jonjo O’Neill’s views on his runners in the race, but also the progress of Don’t Push It and Albertas Run. The 500 acres estate, close to Cheltenham had facilities that are second to none, and we … Continue reading
