EspañolRICHARD QUINN
'Thomas Richard Quinn', better known as 'Richard Quinn' (born December 2, 1961) is a Scottish jockey.
After leaving Bannockburn Secondary School in 1977 aged 15, he moved to York to work as a stable lad. This career led to Quinn moving to work for Paul Cole in Lambourn for 17 years (1981-1998). After some years as a freelance jockey he joined Henry Cecil in Newmarket (2000-2004). Quinn has raced with owners Prince Fahd bin Salman (1990-1991) and John L. Dunlop. Among other victories, Quinn has achieved 26 victories at Goodwood Racecourse. He briefly retired in 2006, only to return to racing early the next year.
