Osborne Ends 32-Year Godolphin Tenure, Hyland Takes Helm

[Wandering Eyes]

Joe Osborne will leave Godolphin Ireland in November after 32 years of service, the company announced on Wednesday. Jimmy Hyland will replace him as head of the organisation.

Osborne joined Darley in 1994 from Kentucky. He led operations at Kildangan Stud for many years and was also closely involved in the development of racing and breeding operations in France, America, Australia and Japan.

Osborne said, “This is my 32nd year with the company and I have had a great career journey both locally and internationally.  I am very grateful for the varied and rewarding opportunities I have been given.

“I have enjoyed focussing on the Irish activities for the last few years and I am now keen to consider other opportunities.  We have a great team of people at Godolphin Ireland, and I am confident that they will continue the successes of the world-class company we have built together.”

Jimmy Hyland has 38 years of experience with Godolphin Ireland and previously served as stud director.

Hyland said, “I'm honoured to be part of such a dynamic organisation. I'm excited to continue working with our great people, elite bloodstock and world-class facilities as we pursue further success.”
