Monkstown's Dane O'Neill has quietly become one of the UK's top jockeys

Dane has been really lucky since he moved across channel all those years ago, he has ridden plenty of winners for the leading trainers in England; “I have ridden for Richard Hannon, Henry Candy, Sir Michael Stoute, and David Elsworth just to name a few. I have been really lucky to ride for many trainers her."

2003 was his most successful year to date with 110 winners. These included Airwave in the Group 2 Temple Stakes for Henry Candy, and another Royal Ascot winner, Macadamia in the Royal Hunt Cup for James Fanshawe. In total, he won over £1.3 million in prize money during that season.
