OUR JOCKEYS

Ben is one of the leading jockeys in the UK and is already into treble figures for the third season in a row and is well on target to beat his tally from 2019. He has improved his seasonal numbers every year since he moved permanently from his native Ireland in 2014 – to the extent that last year’s 137 was enough for third place on the jockeys’ list. As more than 50 of those winners came outside the arbitrary parameters of Britain’s official championship (approximately May to October), he was sixth there, a position he intends to improve this time around.

Ben has won over £4.5 million for his owners in the last 5 years and is on target to win more than £1 million in 2020 alone with big race wins on our very own DANDALLA & FEV ROVER helping that total.

Danny has been one of the best jockeys for a number of years now and has ridden more than 1100 winners in his career. He has a long association with Nick having ridden plenty of big race winners on horses that Nick has purchased over the years.

As well as winning a terrific amount of races Danny has also amassed an incredible £14 million in prize money since starting out in 2003. Last year was his best to date riding 159 winners and finishing a close 2nd in the Jockeys Championship.

 Pedigrees count for plenty of racing and David Egan is undoubtedly bred for the job.

His father, John, has ridden more than 1,000 winners and is still going strong at the age of 50. His mother is Sandra Hughes,  who trained the Irish Grand National winner Thunder And Roses; his uncle is the champion jockey-turned-trainer Richard Hughes.

His grandfather was the late Dessie Hughes, rider of Monksfield and the trainer of dual Champion Hurdle winner Hardy Eustace.

Brought up around horses on The Curragh, 20-year-old Egan has lived in Newmarket since he left school.

He was champion apprentice in 2017 and is getting plenty of opportunities for leading Newmarket trainer Roger Varian, including when third on Qabala in the QIPCO 1000 Guineas. 

His breakthrough Royal Ascot victory also came in 2019 aboard Daahyeh in the Albany Stakes.

David has won over £3 million in prize money in just 5 years as a jockey.

Jimmy is one the most hard working jockeys in the business and has ridden in thousands upon thousands of races. He has won over 30 Group & Listed winners including the Group 1 Nunthorpe in 2007 and has also won some of the prestigious Handicap's along the way as well.  Jimmy has ridden big race winners for some of the biggest trainers over the years including Roger Charlton, John Dunlop & Sir Henry Cecil.

Hartlepool native Tony Hamilton started to ride at the age of 12 and was soon bitten by the racing bug. After a spell at a racing college, he became apprenticed to Thirsk trainer David Nicholls in 1999.

He moved on to ride for Richard Fahey in 2004 and became an integral part of the Malton handler’s yard.

Tony has won a total of 17 Group & Listed races including the Group 2 Yorkshire Cup in 2013. Tony has also won some of the big Handicap's and lucrative sales races over the years with 2015 being a particular highlight when he won the Lincoln, Weatherbys Super Sprint and the Ayr Gold Cup.
