Another OBrien joins training ranks as Donnacha hangs up riding boots


Donnacha to train, like father Aidan and brother Joseph
I look forward to training a small group of horses next year

Donnacha OBrien, the multiple Group One-winning jockey, has announced his retirement from the saddle to embark on a training career.

The 21-year-old was crowned champion jockey in Ireland this year, defending the title he first secured 12 months ago, and he bows out with 10 top-level wins to his name. OBriens final Group One success came aboard Magical in the Champion Stakes at Ascot in October.
