Podcasts about kerrin mcevoy

The enormous genetic influences in Kerrin McEvoy's background were obvious from a tender age. In fact the native of Streaky Bay on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, wanted to do nothing else but ride racehorses from age 9 or 10. Initially apprenticed to grandfather Bill Holland, Kerrin had a brief stint with Russell Cameron in Adelaide before seeing out his time with the legendary Hayes family. After 29 years as a professional jockey, Kerrin McEvoy boasts an amazing record- 2348 wins including 85 Gr 1's, 83 Gr 2's, 146 Gr 3's and another 160 at listed level. In five seasons overseas he won 323 races in the UK and Europe with another 40 in Dubai. The 45 year old father of four, was enjoying his job more than ever when a recent starting gate accident left him with multiple fractures in the right foot. That little hiatus has given him the time to talk to me at length on our weekly podcast, and I can't tell you how delighted I am. Kerrin begins by explaining the circumstances of the mishap and the extent of his injuries. He reveals the opinion of specialists and a likely date for his return. Kerrin agrees it was always going to be difficult to stay away from the racing game given his powerful genetic background.  He talks of father Phil and uncles Darren and Tony, all jockeys early in life. Tony of course is still toasting his Caulfield/Melbourne Cup training double with Half Yours. Kerrin remembers an early apprenticeship to grandfather Bill Holland and time spent sitting on a chaff bag pretending to be a jockey. He looks back on a six month stint in Adelaide with former outstanding trainer Russell Cameron.  The champion jockey talks about his transfer to Peter Hayes and the beginning of his riding career. He looks back on his first race ride and first win just a few weeks later. Kerrin says he was thrilled when sent to Melbourne as the stable's resident metropolitan apprentice. He still can't believe his luck in picking up the Melbourne Cup ride on Brew in 2000. A clever ride put him into the record books as the youngest jockey to win the Cup in 52 years. He still has trouble believing his first Gr 1 win came in Australia's most famous race. He remembers a Caulfield win that qualified him for work experience in Godolphin's state of the art Dubai stable.  Kerrin believes the connection gained him the ride on Beekeeper in the 2002 Melbourne Cup. He placed third with a flawless ride and things started to happen quickly from that point on. In 2004 he gained the prestigious role of number two Godolphin jockey behind Frankie Dettori for the stable's UK and European operation. Kerrin was deeply moved when he rode the second placegetter Rule of Law in the historic English Derby at Epsom. He remembers an all the way win in England's oldest classic race on Rule Of Law. The St Leger was first run in 1776, and is four years older than  the Derby. He speaks with great affection of Shamardal and Dubawi, two of Godolphin's most celebrated horses. He won Gr 1 races on both gallopers. Kerrin speaks of his disappointment when Godolphin's Blues And Royals went amiss after winning the UAE Derby. The colt was programmed to run in the Kentucky Derby but it was not to be.  At this point of the interview, Kerrin talks of wife Cathy's successful riding career. He says Cathy rode regular work at Newmarket after their marriage in 2008. He speaks fondly of his second Melbourne Cup win on Almandin in 2016. He takes us through the running of the race and the great duel he had with Joie Moreira on runner up Heartbreak City. The jockey says he was delighted to win another Gr 1 on the unsound horse 17 months after the Melbourne Cup triumph. Kerrin only had to wait two years for his third Melbourne Cup victory on Cross Counter for Godolphin. He talks of the northern hemisphere three year old's strong staying performance from a wide gate. The much travelled jockey takes us through his three exciting Everest wins -two with Redzel and the third with Classique Legend.  He rates the grey's Everest performance one of the best he's ever been involved with. Kerrin says he's grateful to have added a Golden Slipper win to his big race CV. He takes us back to Sepoy's dominant win in 2011, and further wins on the talented colt. The jockey was chuffed to win the 2008 Caulfield Cup on Godolphin's All the Good. He was most impressed with the stallion's staying performance. Kerrin talks of the likelihood of any of his four children following him into the racing industry. He says he regards himself as having been relatively lucky in racing accidents. Kerrin looks back on the unveiling of his bronze statue in 2022. While extremely grateful, he admits to having  mixed feelings at the time.  This is a laid back chat with one of the most successful jockeys of his generation. 

Dave Stanley hosts and expert panel of Chris Roots, Ron Dufficy and David Gately who discuss all the massive topics from the weekend's racing including Kerrin McEvoy's lack of form, Zac Lloyd's big day, Romantic Warrior's close 2nd in the Saudi Cup and more.

Many racing people were predicting a bright future for Dylan Gibbons long before he made his debut at Taree in July 2020.  Son of successful jockey Andrew Gibbons,  the lanky youngster had been taken along quietly by his master Kris Lees and was the complete package by the time he was let loose. Dylan hasn't let his supporters down. In just four seasons of race riding he's approaching 400 winners including two Gr 1's. Caught up with the talented young rider last week for a comprehensive chat about his career so far. He talks about four seasons of success he never expected. Dylan talks about the workload of the modern day jockey with special mention of the barrier trial schedule. He talks of partner Nevada and the decision to stay in his hometown of Newcastle. The young jockey talks of his hectic 2023/2024 season and the holiday he was badly in need of. He admits he was late in making a decision to become an apprentice, but says his interest in racing was obsessive.  Dylan reflects on the many days he spent at race meetings where his father had riding commitments. He says he found a way to keep occupied. He talks of his admiration for two Sydney jockeys in particular. He remains very friendly with Tommy Berry and Kerrin McEvoy. At one stage he was acting as valet for both riders. When Andrew Gibbons could see his son was deadly serious about becoming a jockey he took him to a local riding school. Dylan talks about the education he gained in the Kris Lees operation, and talks of his very first day at the races. He hasn't forgotten the magic of his first winning ride at Coffs Harbour. Dylan looks back on his first metro success and the unforgettable thrill of a Gr 1 win so early in his career. The jockey looks back on his second Gr 1 win. This time the winner was trained by his boss and staunchest supporter. Dylan acknowledges the part Semana has played in his brief career- only two wins but several Group placings. One of them was oh so close! He talks of a Brisbane Cup win for Bjorn Baker and his association with smart sprinter Buenos Noches. Dylan talks of his association with talented horses like Brudenell and Loch Eagle and a four race association with multiple Gr 1 winning mare Montefilia. He talks of brother Ryan and three year old half sister Hayley. Dylan pays tribute to his father's longevity and the great winning trot the elder Gibbons has been enjoying. He admits it's a tough road ahead competing against so many top riders on equal terms but says he's up to the task.

We present a replay of one of our favourite interviews from the early days of the website. Our guest is that great raconteur Johnny Letts whose stellar riding career brought him 2300 wins including two Melbourne Cups. John talks of his recovery from some serious health issues. John reminisces about his twenty one years as post race interviewer for two networks over the four days of the Melbourne Cup carnival. He talks of the jockeys who showed the most emotion in the wake of their Cup victories with special mention of Damien Oliver, Kerrin McEvoy, and Glen Boss. John has very funny recollections of his struggle to interview Yasanari Iwata, the non English speaking Japanese jockey who won the Cup on Delta Blues. You'll enjoy John's tribute to “Banjo”, the lovable stock horse who became almost as well known as the Melbourne Cup winner. The former champion jockey goes back to school days when he struggled through the grades. He shares one hilarious story about a certain classroom examination. John remembers the day one of his teachers suggested he should consider a future as an apprentice jockey. He pays tribute to Port Adelaide trainer Jack Canavan who signed him up. John has vivid memories of his first winning ride at Snowtown. Despite being all at sea during the race, the tiny apprentice was able to win from his longtime idol Jim Johnson. It's a delight to hear the jockey's recollections of his Melbourne Cup wins on Piping Lane and Beldale Ball. John has turned these stories into racing folklore. Great listening. The lowest point in his amazing career came when a race fall left him with dangerous neck fractures. It was initially feared he would be paraplegic. Six long months later John was discharged from hospital wearing a surgical collar, and still unable to turn his head in either direction. He relates the incredible story of the freak racecourse incident which would solve his dilemma. He talks of his unforgettable return to race riding- a winner at his first ride back. He's still moved by the memory of the crowd reaction. The remarkable horseman talks of his love of the harness racing sport. For several years he held a dual licence, and drove 40 winners at the trots. He recalls one amazing riding and driving double in Melbourne. John remembers his Epsom Hcp win at Randwick on the beautiful grey Raffindale. I enjoyed every minute of my conversation with a true Australian racing icon. Nobody tells a story better than Johnny Letts.
