Lyons and Qatar Racing go separate ways Leading trainer Ger Lyons has announced that he is no longer training horses for Sheikh Fahad Al Thani's Qatar Racing. Lyons issued the following statement on his daily blog post this morning: "It is with regret that I have to announce I will no longer be training for Qatar Racing as from yesterday. We have had some good times and I was delighted to have trained Sheikh Fahad's his first ever winner with WADE GILES. Another fantastic day was when we won the Cheveley Park Stks with LIGHTENING PEARL giving us both our first ever GR1 win." "Time waits for no man and last Monday was another great thrill when we won the GR3 Athasi Stks at Naas with Lightening Pearl's daughter LIGHTENING QUICK making her a very valuable broodmare prospect. I wish her, Sheikh Fahad and all the Qatar Racing team all the very best in the future and thank them for their fantastic support over the years."
