Champion Jockey Unveils Packed Winter Horse Racing Schedule Following Major Grade 1 Stakes Triumph

Leading the British horse racing arena in the absence of Frankie Dettori, Irish jockey Oisin Murphy is setting standards high for himself. The three-time champion jockey recently secured a soaring victory in the Bollywood capital of the world, riding the favorite Jendayi. As the festive season draws close, Murphy is setting even higher equestrian aspirations for himself in the future.

Murphy has been in red-hot form this season. In the last 14 days, he has raced 31 times, winning an astonishing 8 times. After the latest Grade 1 victory on Indian shores, the 28-year-old has now shared his plans for his next trips to further extend his winning streak.

Oisin Murphy reveals next horse racing adventures

In the latest interview with At The Races, Murphy spoke about his next international trips. As the Christmas festivities begin, the 3x Champion Jockey will be making ‘trips to Qatar, New York, and Florida in the next two weeks’. “I ride in Qatar on Wednesday and Thursday”, he revealed. During the Christmas festivities, Murphy will be in New York and will later head to Florida for more horse racing action.

Earlier this year in America, the 28-year-old emerged victorious at the Belmont Oaks and Queen Elizabeth Invitational and will look to add more accolades to his name. “But during my trip in Florida, I might make some trips back to ride in Europe”, he added, expressing that it was only possible in case he was needed by Qatar Racing. He certainly has an action-packed schedule in the next two weeks and would be hoping to replicate last week’s Guineas success in future races.

Murphy triumphs at Indian 1000 Guineas

Marking his first trip to the Bollywood capital of the world, Mumbai, Oisin Murphy continued his winning streak with a dominant victory atop the heavy favorite Jendayi (Ind) at the Trilegal Indian 1000 Guineas. Murphy rode Jendayi at an astonishing pace, further blitzing past the opponents in the last 100 meters of the track. Before this dominant Grade 2 victory, he had already claimed a trophy on the same day.
