ABOUT RICHARD and PETER

MEET RICHARD FAHEY

Richard is one of Europe’s leading trainers, sending out a record 235 winners in a single season and tasting top success with champions such as Wootton Bassett, Perfect Power and Ribchester.

In March 2026, son Peter joined the licence and today the stables operate as Richard and Peter Fahey Racing. They are assisted by a long-serving and tight-knit team that includes Robin O’Ryan, Eireann Cagney and Chloe Brodie.

Richard is a former Conditional Champion Jockey whose 100 winners under both codes included Icarus in the 1991 Bobby Renton Memorial Novice Chase at Wetherby.

Since opening for business as a trainer in 1993, Richard has sent out over 3,000 winners including Group winners in England, Ireland, France, Canada, Bahrain, Dubai and Saudi Arabia.

His first Royal Ascot winner arrived in 2002 courtesy of Superior Premium, a 2,800gns yearling purchase who triumphed in the 2002 Cork & Orrery Stakes. The Royal winners have flowed since then, with Ribchester, Perfect Power and The Ridler among those to have flown the flag at the highest level.

There was also a milestone to remember in September 2025 when Lily Pearl scored at Pontefract to become his 3,500th winner.
