Rachel Richardson to retire from race riding and move to Ballydoyle

She will be certainly missed at Great Habton

Rachel Richardson retires from race riding and moves to Ballydoyle

Rachel Richardson has decided to retire from race riding and leave us to join Aiden O'Brien at Ballydoyle.  After 13 years at Great Habton, she will certainly be missed around the yard.  Rachel won her first race on Hayek at Hamilton in 2011, and rode out her claim in 2018 with 28 winners that year.  Rachel has been a very successful part of the team over the years and rode a total of 123 winners in her career.

While we are very sad to say goodbye to Rachel, we wish her all the best in her new life in Ireland.
