Qatar Racing

Oisin Murphy’s retainer with Qatar Racing will conclude at the end of the 2026 Flat season, as we reduce the number of horses we have in training in Britain.

Having ridden for Qatar Racing for more than a decade, Oisin has enjoyed remarkable success for us, partnering nine Group or Grade 1 winners, including Roaring Lion, Kameko and Lightning Spear.

From his first Group winner, Hot Streak, in 2014 to Classic success and four consecutive Group 1 victories with Roaring Lion in 2018, our association has been filled with unforgettable moments.

While the retainer comes to an end, the friendship and mutual respect remain as strong as ever, with Oisin set to continue representing Qatar Racing internationally wherever possible.

Thank you @oismurphy 🤝
