Baz (NZ) 1,722 Report post Posted May 8, 2019 I've been watching this young rider for a while I've been very impressed with her style, balance and ability in a finish. In some cases she has out-ridden senior jockeys... which is what initially caught my attention! Certainly rides above her 4kg claim which won't last long over the coming winter months. One ride today at Matamata for One win on JC Collett's Bluetwentytwo. More wins in store for sure! Anyone else seen other claiming apprentices to watch over the next few months???

Ohokaman 5,844 Report post Posted May 8, 2019 If you are really keen and bet down South, keep an eye on Tina Comignaghi, apprentice to the Parsons stable. Don't particularly like her riding style, but they seem to run for her. Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam O'Malley (a3) is starting to get plenty of opportunity. 244 Rides x 12 wins Ethan Wright (a4) a new kid on the block. 27 Rides x 1 win As we all know to be successful you need opportunity. Keeping in mind not all things are equal when young riders are starting out. Slow Horses vs Fast Horses can make all the difference to perception of riding talent. I like to try and identify talent early on.... regardless of horse ability. I remember talking to a senior rider a few years back at Te Rapa and mentioning to him how a very young James McDonald could be a future star. His reply was... Jason Collett (at that time) was potentially better. He may have been but I believe one of those two riders has probably had more media marketing, help and opportunity than the other. I rate both highly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Bukowski 411 Report post Posted May 21, 2019 It's Winter where the 3kg and 4kg claiming apprentices make hay while the sun shines (see what I did there....) Not that I'm a big fan of their riding yet, but you just have to factor them right in to everything from now on, Chelsea Burdan Eilish McCall Tegan Newman Hazel Schofer , so far so good... Ethan Wright gawd help us , still very much a work in progress. Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
