Andrea Atzeni says he is looking forward to renewing his partnership with Sheikh Mohammed Obaid.
Atzeni had been a retained rider for Qatar Racing but has decided to link up with Obaid, who has recently decided to send all his runners to trainer Roger Varian.
With a change of scene, Atzeni is looking forward to getting going with his new employers, having enjoyed previous success with the group on winners Postponed and Kingston Hill.
He told www.varianstable.com: “I am delighted to be formally renewing my association with both Sheikh Mohammed Obaid and Roger from next season.
“I have been lucky enough to enjoy some of my best days on horses like Postponed and Kingston Hill and so I am really excited at the prospect of the two joining forces.”
