Graham Lee Profile

Graham Lee (born December 16, 1975 in Galway, Republic of Ireland) is a successful National Hunt jockey in Great Britain and Ireland. Prior to May 2006, he was the main stable jockey for Howard Johnson, but was replaced by Paddy Brennan, allegedly after a disagreement over his return from an injury. Lee became the main stable jockey and deputy trainer for Ferdy Murphy. He is currently second in the National Hunt Jockey Championship, 2008, and if his recent run of form continues it has been suggested that Lee could pose the first real threat to Tony McCoy in over ten years.

Although his profile among the ranks has dipped sharply since joining Murphy, Lee has come very much back into the sport's consciousness through his involvement with improving chaser Aces Four. The partnership landed the Mildmay Novices' Chase at Aintree in 2007 and are currently among the ante-post favourites for the 2008 Cheltenham Gold Cup.
