Jamie Osborne

Jamie describes himself as an ‘overrated jockey, underrated trainer’ on his Twitter profile. As a National Hunt jockey, he rode for 16 seasons. A dozen Cheltenham festival victories through the 1990s and almost a thousand worldwide winners made him one of the leading riders of that era.

In 2001 his second season as a trainer, Jamie trained his first Royal Ascot winner when Irony won the Windsor Castle Stakes. In 2003, Milk It Mick landed the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes to firmly put him on the map. Since then, a steady stream of high-class winners have followed. The Royal Ascot total has risen to 6 along with much international success, including the UAE Derby with Toast Of New York, who was just inched out of the Breeders Cup Classic 2014.
