JOHN FEANE RACING

John Feane is the only son of Jimmy Feane (a former Curragh licensed trainer) and has been involved in racing from an early age. John is also the nephew of Declan Gillespie, who was first jockey for Jim Bolger for many years as well as being part of the Vincent O’Brien team in Ballydoyle in the late 1980s before proving to be a successful trainer in his own right. John trains from the same Pollardstown stables as Declan did and the yard overlooks the six furlong start at the Curragh Racecourse. Having ridden successfully as an amateur and serving his time in various racing establishments John took out his first trainers license in 2014. He enjoyed his best season to date with 28 winners in 2016.
