Newly-crowned champion Murphy admits doubts about fifth title charge

Oisin Murphy was officially crowned champion Flat jockey for the fourth time at Ascot on Qipco British Champions Day, but he is yet to commit to another title challenge in 2025.

Murphy has ridden over 200 winners worldwide throughout 2024, with notable victories including both Group One sprints at Royal Ascot aboard Australian ace Asfoora and Charlie Hills’ Khaadem, while he also partnered Andrew Balding’s New Century to big-race success in Canada.
