Luke Morris is well-known English jockey who was born on 20th October, 1988. Born in Oxford and trained at the British Racing School at Newmarket, the young rider’s profile has been on a steady rise over the last decade. Once apprenticed to renowned trainer Michael Bell, Morris remains one of the most promising jockeys on the racing scene.
His very first race course win happened in November 2005. Years later he attracted widespread admiration when he steered Gilt Edge Girl to a decisive victory in the 2010 Ballyogan Stakes. Within the same year, the youthful champion attained yet another feat with success in the internationally watched Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp. Since then, his star has risen more and more.
Many mainstream news outlets have described Luke Morris as the most hardworking jockey in Britain, if not in the whole of Europe. According to some in the racing fraternity, Morris is known to have shwn his interest in racing, as as yung an age as seven. As a senior sports columnist aptly stated – “there’s no stopping Luke Morris…”
As an emphatic testament to his reputation as one of the busiest jockeys in Europe, Morris marked his 1,330 ride in mid 2016 – 100 more than anyone else!
