DOUGLAS WHYTE
Champion Hong Kong Jockey for eleven consecutive record breaking seasons. Follow especially when riding for trainers John Size, Dennis Yip- sometimes- and Tony Cruz.
FAST TRACK RATING: *****
BRETT PREBBLE
Strong, punishing Australian rider. At his best when riding for trainers Caspar Fownes and David Hall.
FAST TRACK RATING: ****
DARREN BEADMAN
In-and out former champion Australian jockey. Stable jockey for trainer John Moore. A puzzle to follow at the best of times.
FAST TRACK RATING: ***
ZAC PURTON
Possibly second to Douglas Whyte when it comes to riding winners. Good riding for any trainer. Hard to ignore.
FAST TRACK RATING: *****
MATTHEW CHADWICK
Former Champion Apprentice. Follow when riding for Tony Cruz- but can also lose money doing so. A puzzle- but can be very good- when on his game.
FAST TRACK RATING: ***
OLIVIER DOLEUZE
Strong, flamboyant and popular French jockey who has ridden in France, Singapore and Macau. Doesn’t get the rides he deserves. A “confidence” jockey who needs one win to keep going.
FAST TRACK RATING: ****
VINCENT CY HO
Indentured to the Caspar Fownes stables and this season’s Most Improved and Successful Apprentice. Keep following on anything he rides.
FAST TRACK RATING: *****
JEFF LLOYD
Experienced jockey who has ridden in Australia and South Africa. Strong jockey but difficult to follow. Seems to do best when riding for trainer John Moore.
FAST TRACK RATING: ***
TYE ANGLAND
The tallest jockey riding in Hong Kong and probably anywhere in the world. Came to Hong Kong with a so-so reputation and has blossomed. Follow on anything.
FAST TRACK RATING: *****
GERARD MOSSE
The most experienced and internationally successful Group 1 winning jockey. Knows Hong Kong inside out and MUST follow, especially in the big races. Can be hard to follow in “lesser races” as he can be very good, or very average. Possibly thinks too much of all the champion horses he has ridden when riding “inferior” horses. Follow when riding for Tony Cruz- especially in a Cup race.
