Jonjo O’Neill Big Race Wins

Synchronised won the 2012 Cheltenham Gold Cup after progressing through handicaps, including the Midlands Grand National and Welsh Grand National in 2010. The horse also won the 2011 Savills Chase but tragically died as a result of injuries in a freak accident after falling in the Aintree Grand National.

Don’t Push It’s 2010 Grand National is memorable for providing legendary rider Tony McCoy with a win in the big race. O’Neill won the Stayers Hurdle with Iris’s Gift (2004) and More Of That (2014) while he trained Alberta’s Run to win the Ryanair Chase in 2010 and 2011.

Butlers Cabin (2007) and Shutthefrontdoor (2014) won the Irish Grand National.

Jonjo O’Neill – Most Famous Victories

Don’t Push It landed a wholesale gamble in the Grand National, owned by JP McManus. McCoy had never finished better than third in 14 previous attempts and was roared home by the Aintree crowd.

Synchronised also carried the famous green and gold silks and was a game winner of the 2012 Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Iris’s Gift was a popular winner of the 2004 Stayers Hurdle, ridden by Barry Geraghty. The grey was unable to transfer his top class form to fences while other notable winners for the yard include Wichita Lineman (2009 Festival Trophy) and Exotic Dancer (2008 Savills Chase).
