Fergal O’Brien embarked on a new career as a trainer, having spent the 19 years as head lad at the hugely successful Nigel Twiston-Davies yard. For the last 4 seasons Fergal has been the Champion Point-to-Point Trainer in the West Midlands area and, at the Cheltenham Hunter Chase Evening Meeting, where he achieved his first double at jump racing's premier racecourse. Fergal’s landlord at the new stables at Cilldara Stud is the well-known jump jockey, Timmy Murphy. The facilities at Cilldara are first-class and there is huge potential for further development as the business continues to grow. We have a long standing relationship with Fergal having shared some of our greatest moments culminating in Imperial Commanders Gold Cup win in March 2010.
