Tom Queally splits from Cecil's yard

Jockey Tom Queally has decided that he will ride freelance from 2014.

The 29-year-old has recently been the stable jockey at the late Sir Henry Cecil's Warren Place yard, where he had enjoyed plenty of success, most notably with Frankel.

However, the Irishman believes that the time is now right for him to "pursue new challenges".

"The decision to go freelance is one that I have thought a great deal about and one that I have not taken lightly but I feel this is the right time to pursue new challenges," he told the Racing Post.

Queally first linked up with Cecil back in 2008.
