Welcome to R F Racing Ltd

 

Musley Bank Stables, home to Richard Fahey and his team can be found in beautiful open countryside just a mile outside the historic training centre of Malton in North Yorkshire.

An ideal setting for training racehorses proven by another outstanding year in 2011; Richard, third in the numerical list of races won in Britain, and sixth in the overall championship, sent out 160 winners, plus more than 250 seconds and thirds contributing to a prize money haul, which totalled a staggering £1.67m. 2011 was further highlighted by stable jockey Paul Hanagan winning his second successive championship and becoming the first northern rider to achieve such a colossal feat.

With the quality of horses increasing together with Richard’s consistent knack of getting the best out of them it is little wonder Musley Bank Stables is proving to be one of the top training establishments in the country.

This site is updated daily with the day’s runners, results and latest news and if we’re very lucky we get a tweet out of Richard! Photos from the yard and the races are added frequently and our Gallery is most definitely worth a visit.

Thanks for calling in. Enjoy!

 

WIND SHUFFLE

 Jockey Brian Hughes schools Wind Shuffle at Musley Bank yesterday

                                                                                                                            

 

 

No runners today but Musley Bank is in full swing ahead of the 2012 flat turf season which kicks off at Doncaster exactly 9 weeks today! And we're not doing too bad with the jumpers either!

Jump Jockey Brian Hughes, in to ride out and school at least once a week, was in good form yesterday following his impressive win aboard Ingleby Spirit in the 2m Novices’ Hurdle at Musselburgh earlier this week. Wind Shuffle subsequently delighted everyone schooling well yesterday morning (pic above).

 

Musley Bank apprentice George Chaloner (pic right) was another in good form yesterday after an appointment at the hospital on Wednesday revealed positive news.

George, who was riding a yearling, was kicked by another youngster in the string resulting in a fracture just below the knee. The incident occurred on 14th December 2011 and while the decision against operating was deemed as good news by George, the 19-year-0ld has been wearing a splint from his ankle to his thigh allowing no movement what-so-ever for the past month.

Stopping by the office yesterday George told us: “I was at the hospital again on Wednesday and the doctors were pleased with the way my knee is healing. I have been wearing a splint from my ankle to my thigh to keep my leg completely straight for the past month but it has been replaced with a flexible knee brace now which allows 40 degree movement. I can also bare some weight on that leg now.”

With a follow up appointment scheduled in two weeks time with the hope of fitting a brace allowing even more flexibility, George will be starting physio next week.
