Meet Jack Davison, an accomplished racehorse trainer based in Dunboyne, County Meath. With a degree in Agricultural Science from University College Dublin and training from the prestigious Godolphin Flying Start program, Jack gains valuable experience working with some of the most respected names in the industry, including Jim Bolger, Gai Waterhouse, Roger Varian, and Brendan Holland.

In August 2018, Jack sends out his first winner at Dundalk, when his parents’ homebred filly, Black Magic Woman, wins the juvenile fillies’ maiden. Since then, his career continues to flourish.

When asked why he becomes a trainer, Jack explains:
"Since a young age, I’ve always enjoyed being involved in competitive sports. Once I decided to pursue a career in the thoroughbred industry, I naturally gravitated toward the racing side to satisfy both my competitive nature and my passion for the racehorse. After gaining experience under some of the best in the field, I felt confident in my ability to train for myself."

"At that time, my parents generously allow me to align their breeding operation with my ambition to train racehorses. That invaluable opportunity gives me access to some exceptional horses, and we manage to work together successfully — laying the foundation for what would become the training setup at Killarkin Stud."

After early success with their own homebred stock, Jack decides to pursue training full-time, confident in his ability to attract new owners. As luck would have it, he trains some outstanding horses early on and earns black-type success — establishing a solid reputation and setting himself on a strong path forward.

Thanks to the experience he accumulates, Jack remains confident in his continued rise through the ranks of Irish horse trainers. Strategic growth over the years brings the stable to around 30 horses in training heading into 2023. Jack takes pride in the team at Killarkin — from exceptional staff to state-of-the-art facilities — and in the quality of horses under his care. He looks ahead with optimism and excitement for the opportunities still to come.
