Fran Berry will no longer be retained rider to trainer Ralph Beckett, with the pair having ended their partnership that began in February 2016. Irishman Berry's time in England had been plagued by injury, and Beckett said, “Both Fran and I feel that this is the right decision to make going forward. I am grateful to Fran for his considerable efforts over the last year or so, and wish him the best of luck in the future.”
Berry told sportinglife.com he plans to stay in England.
“Since moving to the UK, I've built up some very good relationships with many trainers and owners and I'm really looking forward to the future,” he said. “Tony Hind has been my agent since I've moved here and I know he's been working extremely hard on my behalf and I have picked up some good Royal Ascot rides next week.”
