With 28 Group 1 wins to his name, John O’Shea numbers amongst Sydney racing’s elite trainers.
After celebrating his very first Group 1 win in 2002 with Shot Of Thunder in the Toorak Handicap at Caulfield, he went on to enjoy success at the highest level, training top class gallopers Charge Forward, Foxwedge and Racing To Win.
His growing reputation resulted in John being offered the prestigious position of Head Trainer at Godolphin in 2014. During the next three year in this role, he celebrated more than 550 winners, including 10 Group 1 victories with the likes of Astern, It’s Somewhat and Exosphere.
In August 2017 John returned to the public training ranks, establishing John O’Shea Racing’s stable at Randwick, where he has made it his mission to work with a great team, loyal owners and quality horses. The success of the Randwick operation led, in 2021, to the addition of a second stable located in the beautiful Glen Haven property in Hawkesbury.
