Murtagh to ride all of Aga Khan’s Irish-trained horses

JOHN OXX is looking forward to renewing his association with Johnny Murtagh after the jockey was retained to ride all of the Aga Khan’s Irish-trained horses in 2011.

Murtagh was stable jockey for Oxx between 1992-2003, during which time he rode 18 Group One winners for one of the world’s leading owners.

Most memorably he guided Oxx’s Sinndar to victory in the Epsom Derby, the Irish Derby and the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in 2000, and is now back in the job following his resignation as number one for Coolmore last week.
