After Dinner Speakers: Jamie Osborne, Bad Manners, Martin Brundle

Jamie Osborne was long regarded as one of our best National Hunt jockeys - now he is aiming to hit the heights as a trainer. He took out a licence in 2000 and since then has enjoyed plenty of success as a Flat trainer. Perhaps his best moment to date as a handler came in 2001 when he sent out Irony to Royal Ascot glory. The son of Mujadil made his mark for Osborne's team winning the Windsor Castle Stakes under Pat Eddery. Jamie recorded his first win at Royal Ascot with Irony when he won the Windsor Castle Stakes 2002 was a really satisfying year for Jamie as he saddled 48 winners - his best tally to date. The campaign finished on a high when his charge Red Wine bolted up to win the Tote Scoop6 November Handicap at Doncaster. Earlier in Osborne's career, he produced a sensational performance as a jockey at the Cheltenham Festival in 1992. He rode five winners at the Festival that year, including three in one day. Prestbury Park will always hold special memories for Jamie as he frequently rode winners there. These included a victory in the Champion Hurdle, a Champion Chase success, three Arkles and two Stayers' Hurdles wins. Jamie's best season as a jockey was in 1996-97, recording 131 wins in total.
