Ryan's Rocket

Trained by Fergal O’Brien

FORM P/1/021-14120U-1U01- OR 139

"A fantastic horse to train, very straightforward and a credit to himself. Ryan's Rocket had the most brilliant season with wins at Kempton and the Aintree Grand National meeting - what a thrill ! I think he's getting better and will remain very exciting for this season." Fergal O'Brien

‘The Rocket’ had a tremendous year for Fergal and in doing so won a £50k and £100k handicap chase for his owners.  His season was book ended by spectacular victories at Newbury and at the Aintree Grand National meeting.  On both occasions ‘The Rocket’ jumped really well and was produced perfectly by Johnny Burke to win with a little bit left up his sleeve.
 
Ryan’s Rocket has been a tremendous horse for his owners over the past three years winning over £110k but could now be approaching his peak.  It’s hoped he can progress further this season in high end two mile handicap chases.
