John Weld

John Weld is halfway through his four-year tenure as Chairman of the Association of Irish Racehorse Owners (AIRO). As a breeder and a racehorse owner, John has had many successes, not least with Desert Sky, Snippets and Battle In Hand, who won at the Galway Festival with his son in the saddle. John is a veterinary surgeon but his main business is as a thoroughbred consultant, building and restoring racing operations and breeding operations in Europe, Asia and the US.
