AFTER a season that saw him ride his first classic winners in Ireland and England, Donnacha O’Brien was crowned the new Irish champion jockey at Naas last weekend.
Riding solely for his father Aidan O’Brien and his brother Joseph, Donnacha (20) won his first classic race when Saxon Warrior landed the QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket in May and captured his first Irish classic when Latrobe, trained by Joseph, took the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh. He also won the Oaks on Forever Together.
