Daryl Jacob

One of the leading Irish jockeys, Daryl Jacob has been extensively lauded for his racing achievements. Riding for Paul Nicholls at the time Ruby Walsh served as the number-one trainer jockey, Daryl Jacob was lucky to benefit from these two doubly inspiring sporting figures. Upon Ruby’s later exit as the top-rank rider for the renowned stable owner, Daryl became the leading jockey for Nicholls, a career milestone that helped to catapult his name to higher echelons.

Having gradually fine-tuned his riding prowess under the gaze of the highly regarded Paul Nicholls’s coaching facility, Daryl Jacob soon started showing  signs of unmistakable success. The then less accomplished (than Ruby Walsh) student inked his influence on the world map by experiencing some success at the 2011 Cheltenham festival on the very first occasion.

Shortly after, Daryl achieved race course triumph on Lac Fontana, in the O Brien County Handicap Hurdle on the very last day of the championship event. While a broken leg and a fractured elbow would later take him away from the public limelight for quitte some time, the inimitable winner fully recovered and shocked all after clinching the 2012 Grand National atop the grey-tinged Neptune Collonges.

Jim Crowley

Jim Crowley emerged as British flat racing Champion Jockey in the 2016 racing season. Mr. Crowley is from Ascot and was initially a National Hunt jockey at the time of his successful pupilage at the Sue Smith’s stable. Prior to switching to flat racing, the immensely talented rider registered an estimated 300 wins in various National Hunt meetings.

Mostly riding for his sister-in-law – Amanda Perrett at Pulborough – the talented jockey also made the most out of a notable stint as a stable jockey for Ralph Beckett in 2010. Working diligently the gifted rider managed his first ever flat racing win in 2016. This achievement didn’t come on a silver platter because the trailblazer had to shake off a great deal of stiff competition from Silvestre de Sousa – the previous year’s champion.

In 2016, Crowley made the headlines after landing a lucrative deal as the first-choice jockey for Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum. Coming within the same year that he attained his first British flat racing honors, the auspicious recognition increased his reputation in the sport yet further. As of August 2016, Jim Crowley had amassed a total of 38 major career wins.

Luke Morris

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!

James Doyle

James Doyle was born on 22nd April 1988 and is a respected horse racing jockey. During his early childhood days in Cambridgeshire, England, Doyle showed a keen interest in horses. His father was himself trainer and so it was always likely that he too would show an interest in the sport too. Regardless of the precise reasoning behind his entering professional racing, Doyle certainly has an aptitude for it.

From 2014 to the present day, James Doyle has been one of the few retained jockeys to Godolphin Racing in the United Kingdom. He mainly steers horses coached by Saeed bin Suroor. A no doubt lucrative professional partnership.

Having partnered with Richard Prince, whose gelding Farnborough he steered to a decisive win, the spirited star constantly rose to unimaginably coveted career heights. His several other major triumphs are: the time-honored Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud – (1) – Noble Mission (2014), the highly competitive Prix Jacques Le Marois – (1) – Kingman (2014), the routine Great Britain Champion Stakes – (1) – Noble Mission (2014), a notable title in the Eclipse Stakes – (1) – Al Kazeem (2013), famously applauded during the stars-decorated Falmouth Stakes – (1) – Amazing Maria (2015), as well as a clear victory in the Lockinge Stakes – (1) – Night of Thunder (2015).

James Doyle is always counted among the most hardworking jockeys, up there wih the likes of Luke Morris, a contemporary now described as Europe’s busiest jockey.
