Welcome to this episode of Just Havin a Crack.
3 CUPS and a SHEIKH
We talk to Kerrin McEvoy who is currently preparing for the spring racing carnival. Kerrin was up at 3 am the morning we recorded this podcast. The life of a jockey isn't an easy one, but Kerrin's story is a story of greatness. A 49 kg giant.
Winning his first Melbourne Cup (2000 Brew) at 19 Kerrin's life was catapulted into the hemisphere of opportunity. Kerrin was contacted by Godolphin (Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum) the most powerful name in horse racing to come to ride for him in Europe, Dubai and also to ride in Australia (Then Darley).
This is not your average riding gig. Kerrin had a long association with Godolphin. Legging up on the best horses you can imagine ( Dubawi, Sharmadal, Denman, Sepoy, Helmet).
In 2013 Kerrin decides to go Freelance and leave Godolphin where his career continues to shine winning 2 Everest's on Redzel.
Family man, elite jockey Kerrins life is not average.
