    Every flat season I look for an apprentice to follow through the season. There isn’t always one that stands out but for 2010 I sure like the look of J P Fahy. A polished enough performer already judged by his rides on the likes of Dansili Dancer and D’unno. Fahy looks like getting decent support from a good stable known for handicapping coups. His claim is a bonus.

    Who do you think will be a rider of the future or even one to make a profit from in 2010?

    The apprentice that most caught my eye last season was an Irish based jockey, GF Carroll who won the Ebor.

    Gary Carroll obviously is the best apprentice riding anywhere at the moment.

    Shane Foley is another gud’un.

    Young O Brien could go well with a few outside rides.

    I agree with Chiswickian. Fahy is also likely to get more good rides for Jeremy Gask this year.

    I’ve followed Pádraig Beggy to good effect over the last few years. Usually there or thereabouts in the Derrinstown series races.

    I’d say Tommy Cooper’s young lad will ride a good few winners this season. I’ve been impressed with him over obstacles.

    Gary Carroll’s brother Tim is another one to look out for.

    Paul Pickard rides for some small stables at present but he has really impressed me this winter and if he can get a few lucky breaks, he could do really well. Cracking value for his claim.

    Martin Lane who has ridden a few winners for D Shaw looks like he knows where the winning line is!!

    Lee Topliss, gets a lot of rides for the Fahey yard.

    Agreed! I am a big fan of Barry McHugh too. He’ll probably lose his claim soon but he is ultra-reliable, especially in sprints.
