Eddie Ahern is riding again — he has made a formal comeback in Denmark, holding a jockey’s licence and working as first jockey for trainer Bent Olsen at Klampenborg.
After serving his 10‑year BHA ban (2013–2023), Ahern resumed full‑time race‑riding. He relocated to Klampenborg, Denmark, where he now rides as stable jockey for Bent Olsen, one of Scandinavia’s leading trainers.
Before moving to Denmark, he had already been riding out regularly in Newmarket, including for William Haggas, keeping himself fit and active in the sport
During the 10‑year suspension he stayed involved in the thoroughbred world by breaking and riding yearlings for major UK and Irish stables. He also worked as a breeze‑up consignor (preparing young horses for sales).
Taken from Jockeypedia, now in its 13th year and featuring over 5,200 British jockeys.

Quite right, Hulk23. He last rode on April 27 2024 in Denmark. He partnered Camar, Lazy Susan, Bartholdi and Lantana Camara, all unplaced. These were his final rides.
With so many jockeys in Jockeypedia, it can be difficult to keep them all up to date. |

Today’s language lesson….Across Danish and Norwegian usage, Bent is a long‑established masculine given name derived from Benedictus, the Late Latin root of Benedict. The core meaning is “blessed” or “one who is blessed.”
The direct English equivalent is Benedict. Short forms such as Ben, Bennie, Benny, or Bennett are also recognised English relatives. |
