Autographs of Johnny Murtagh
Johnny Murtagh (born 14 May 1970) is an Irish flat racing trainer and former jockey from Bohermeen, near Navan, Kells, County Meath. As a jockey he won many of the major flat races in Europe, including all the Irish Classics, all the Group 1 races at Royal Ascot, The Derby, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes and Europe's biggest flat race, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He was also a five-time Irish flat racing Champion Jockey. As a trainer, based at stables near Kildare, he has saddled a winner at Royal Ascot and an Irish Classic winner.
Murtagh was born in Navan, County Meath. He was a keen amateur boxer as a young boy and was once the Irish boys' under-14 champion. He also came close to joining Blackburn Rovers' youth football team.
At a boxing match one evening in his native County Meath, a spectator advised his mother that Murtagh had the attributes to make a good jockey: balance, poise, weight, strength, and courage. His mother wrote to the Racing Academy and Centre of Education (RACE) in County Kildare, a school for apprentice jockeys, and got a two-week trial for her son. He was one of 26 successful candidates who progressed onto the RACE 10-month course. At its end, he was apprenticed to John Oxx, one of Ireland's leading trainers.
