Many congratulations to Aaron McLoughlin Sutherland who has been awarded our Employee of the Month for November.

Aaron rides out every day before heading back into the office to plan races for our horses with Jonjo Snr and Jr.

We have asked him a few questions so you can get to know him.

What is you favourite thing about working at Jonjo O’Neill Racing?
Getting to work closely with lads who have ridden/trained Grade 1 winners including Cheltenham Festival winners day in day out is class. The wealth of knowledge they have amongst them is next to none and of course having a bit of craic along the way.

How did you get into racing?
Leopardstown Racecourse was my local track back in Ireland. I started working in the golf shop (at the racecourse) at weekends when I was school which lead me to working race days. It just snowballed from there really.

What is you best moment in racing so far?
Being able to ride the horses at home and then watch them at the racecourse. How many people that work for an F1 team actually get to drive the team’s car. That’s what’s special about the game we are in.

Ambitions in racing
To have as many winners as possible!

We welcomed members of the Top Speed Racing Syndicates to Jackdaws Castle last month.

They watched All The Glory, Polly (Valirann x Name For Fame) and their new colt on the gallops before enjoying a tour of the yard, swimming pool and enjoying some hospitality in the owner’s suite.

The Top Speed Syndicates are brilliant value for money and are a great way to enter racehorse ownership.

These would make fantastic gifts for any racing enthusiasts and give people wonderful days out at yards and at the races.
