A Star Is Born

By The Joker | 24-Dec-2019

Hi folks

There was a time when names like Kinane, Roche, Lowe, Hughes, McCullagh, Norton, Dwyer, C Hayes n for a season or two Lemaire regaled the crowd with their skill.

Then we got three to four seasons we got B grade jockeys playing their waresespecially the Beuzilins  n the Downeys.

Now we have a young jockey called David Egan who is in town.

From a first class pedigree being a grandson of the late trainer Dessie Hughes n the son of his trainer daughter Sandra & breeder cum jockey John Egan, this lad is the future of British racing.

Though he has come to learn this time n we might not see him riding again being lost to Dubai lights, enjoy his rides.

The finish on Gift of Grace is the cherry definitely.First ride he got to know the horse then rode her brilliantly to success in the Indian 2000 guineas.

May his light shine.

CHEERS

With All Respect Mark My Word,

Bad riding cost the race it may be Trevor Suraj or Sandesh you get theese comments in this HT

Jockeys temrament and judgement counts that is why i also say David Eagan is a champion material give him him 3 years and you will realise that he is a name to reckon.

Still people knowledge in racing is dummy....Not sure why so much hype to the Jockey...Horse wins when club says a BIG Yes....It's all set game.

Almost zervan rode in hyd just failed by whisker from well connected from there onwards horse is improving with each run nothing special from Egan any Indian jockey can win horses prepared by Rashid Byramjis family so many times proven in the past even apprentice jockey also won a classic under Byramjis stable horse

MARK MY WORD - Your comments shows that you dont understand racing and you understand only gambling.

GIFT OF GRACE is a nice pedigree. But look at the past performances.

After loosing to Anjeze in Bangalore 1000 guineas and coming back and give such a beautiful ride was amazing to watch. This is jockeyship. To make the horse run to its full potential and tactfully riding is not easy and all jockeys are not same. I had fancied GOG to win in Hyderabad, but unfortunately lost (Zarvan Riding) narrowly to Well Connected, I do not blame Zarvan, he rode to his best.

Well done David Egan. All the Best!

@ THE JOCKER

I am Totally agree with MARK MY WORD

I just want to remember you very fisrt day of mumbai season arranged in pune track dated 17th nov-2019

 when D egan rode QUESTINA that race gifted him [this kind of small things we have to learn] 

same day just watch K Pranil on Governor General  you will get your own answer.

When I posted his pedigree and achievements at this young age, few bloggers and paid tipsters stamped the jockey as a Dud.  Still few of them did not come out of that mentality inspite of David Egan's good performances in India.

Agreed. This lad will reach heights. Wishing him good luck.

If the horse is fit and well prepared anybody can ride nothing great in davidegan's riding jockey is just to guide the horse. He is lucky to get the ride in well prepared horse like GIFT OF GRACE. Just imagine Indian jockeys like trevor ,sandesh,akshaykumar,suraj cant win if the horse is well prepared...
