O’Regan confirms split with Howard Johnson
The Irish jockey has teamed up with the County Durham trainer and owner Graham Wylie for the last three campaigns.
He replaced Paddy Brennan for the start of the 2007-08 season and had a successful first year, winning the World Hurdle on Inglis Drever and the Arkle Trophy at the Cheltenham Festival.
“The contract is not being renewed for next season. I’ve had a terrific three years and I’ve ridden so many good horses. Graham Wylie and Howard Johnson have put me up on some fantastic horses,” said O’Regan.
“I’ve had a great time and I had the real pleasure of riding a champion in Inglis Drever. Now that chapter is closed in my career and I’ve got to move on.
“I’ve not made any decisions on my plans for next season.”
O’Regan has ridden 66 winners so far this season.
