Ambitious Fahey targets the top

Richard Fahey has no intention of taking his foot off the gas as he continues to develop his burgeoning empire in the pursuit of winners.

On a glorious spring morning at his impressive Musley Bank base near the North Yorkshire town of Malton yesterday, the trainer had a real spring in his step as he showed the gathered media around three plush new barns which will allow him to train the neck end of 200 thoroughbreds.

Having sent out over 160 winners during 2013, it is no surprise most of the boxes are already full and he plans to move more horses into his new state-of-the-art facilities in the coming weeks.
