Brian A. Lynch

An Australia native, Brian Lynch ventured to North America in 1986 to ride bulls on the rodeo circuit but later began training Quarter Horses and took out his Thoroughbred training license in 1992. Based in Southern California, Lynch worked as an assistant under legendary trainer Bobby Frankel, eventually moving east to head the Woodbine division of Frankel’s horses, including Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Ghostzapper.
Lynch began training on his own at Woodbine in 2006, and today divides his time between Toronto and South Florida. Top horses trained by Lynch include Grade 1 winners Grand Arch and Coffee Clique, as well as multiple graded stakes winners Sugar Swirl, Bay to Bay and Heart to Heart.
In 2016, Lynch earned his first career Breeders' Cup victory when Oscar Performance powered to a clear triumph in the Juvenile Turf.
