Davy Condon

Davy Condon (born ~1984/1985) is an Irish National Hunt racing jockey in Great Britain and Ireland. Condon’s father, Michael Condon, was an amateur jockey. Condon retired in 2015 after a spinal injury.

Career After graduating from the pony racing circuit, Condon was discovered by horse trainer Willie Mullins. Later in the season, Condon won again, this time while riding Flying Boat to a win at Cork. The win at Cork gave Condon five in his inaugural campaign. and the Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse. However, perhaps Condon’s most notable win in the 2006/07 season came when he rode Ebaziyan, a 40-1 underdog, to a win in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle. Condon matched his 2006/07 success with 26 more wins in 2007/08, capped with a win in the Pat Taaffe Handicap Chase at the Punchestown Festival atop Emma Jane. During the season, he went on to win 24 races, including wins in the Peterborough Chase on Monet's Garden and the Scottish Champion Hurdle on Noble Alan. In 2009, Condon decided to leave Richards in favor of returning to Ireland, teaming up with Noel Meade. He has since taken over for the suspended Paul Carberry and found great success in the process, winning a total of five Grade 1 races, including the Drinmore Novice Chase and Knight Frank Novice Chase with Pandorama, the Future Champions Novice Hurdle on Hollo Ladies, and the Fighting Fifth Hurdle and Christmas Hurdle on Go Native. He retired in 2015 after falling in the Grand National.
