A few jockeys have done very well since racing has commenced behind closed doors. Here are some of the more memorable moments so far...
Cieren Fallon's group 3 win on Oxted in the Betway Abernant Stakes saw him following in his father's footsteps. The champion apprentice jockey gave the horse a safe but smart ride keeping clear of the rest of the field. Then as the field opened he was sat second and came through and the other horses easily. Fallon kept Oxted on despite the rallying second place of Breathtaking Look. This has put him in a great position to keep improving from for the whole of the season.
The 2000 Guineas did have some surprises. Initially, it was a shock after Pinatubo didn't win and came third. But the win went to Kameko and Oisin Murphy's first guineas triumph. This excellent ride and the win made the Champion Jockey very emotional as this was his first classic win. I'm sure there will be many more classic wins to come.
Richard Kingscote had a four-timer at Haydock Park. It was 9593-1, making this feat nearly unpredictable all but to 1 punter in Ireland who won 18,000 euros on this. The four-timer with the horses Lauded, Brad The Brief, Ishvara and Shady McCoy. Kingscote himself was shocked by this and attributed the victory of these to the tough horses with good ability or attitude.
There's a fair few other jockeys who are flying at the minute these include Hollie Doyle, Ben Curtis and Tom Marquand. Let's see what other jockeys highlight their talents in the following weeks.
