STABLE UNEARTHS TWO NEW POTENTIAL STARS!!!!
It is not often that a stable has any genuine rising stars in the team however I am lucky to be able to declare that I have two potential top liners in the team at the moment. The two up and coming young "colts" are bred on very different blood lines however both are showing plenty of promise in training and in their early trials to suggest that both have a very bright future ahead of them.
The two youngsters I refer to are my two new apprentice jockey's, Andrew (Roo) Castle and Kevin (Crow) Bohorun. Andrew has spent most weekends and school holidays at my stables for the past two years and has been busting his boiler to get himself signed up. After riding Rod Bynder's hack around at the back-track on weekends for most of 2008, Andrew (15 yrs old) has progressed quickly in his track work and has now graduated to trials. He has had seven trials so far and has filled the placings on most occasions winning his first trial at Lark Hill yesterday.
Kevin is a more mature aged lad and at 23 years of age, is very unlikely to ever have any weight problems. Kevin has been working at Amelia Park Farm for the past 18 months where he has been riding track work regularly. He is originally from Mauritius however he has travelled the world extensively looking to get himself a jockey apprenticeship. If perseverance counts for anything, Kevin is assured of a successful career as he has left no stone unturned to gain permanent residency in this country so that he could fulfill his dream to become an apprentice jockey. Kevin has had three trial rides and has finished in the placings on two occasions.
Both boys are a pleasure to have around the stables and are both regular and keen track riders. They are getting to be well known at the track in recent times as both boys ride plenty of work for trainers at Ascot every morning. Providing they can remain focused on the job at hand, maintain their current happy, cheerful and polite nature and can put up with my old fashioned rules and regulations regarding apprentices, I am confident that they both have bright futures ahead of them.
I know it is very early in their respective careers however I feel you should mark both names down in your black book as two up and coming performers for a few years to come. All the best boys.
