Fakir D’oudairies ‘in good shape’ for Leopardstown

As well as those top-level success on the Flat, which include but are not limited to the Irish Derby, Melbourne Cup and Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mares Turf, Joseph O’Brien has enjoyed great success in the National Hunt sphere and that is something he hopes will continue long into the future.

Many tremendously successful trainers before him, most obviously and pertinently his own father, have begun focusing on the jumps but gravitated to the more lucrative Fat discipline. Given the stellar start to his career, it has already been mooted that O’Brien will follow suit. While time will prove that lure irresistible, the former champion Flat jockey is hopeful there will be much more to come in the National Hunt sphere.
