Jockey is aged nearly 60.

With all that experience, it would be remarkable that he forgot where the winning line was

Imagine any other 'sport' that is professional where someone could be 57 and still competing...there isn't one.
Report stu September 21, 2026 3:09 PM BST
snooker would be closest, but no one that age is still actually 'competing' really

Surprised there wasn’t comment from the experts here on the finish in the first race too

N G McCullagh in Ireland is still riding at 56.

Could be wrong but I think Perry Ouzts is still going strong over the pond at the ripe old age of 70.

All just goes to show that it's not basically a 'sport' at all. Said it for years about jockeys.

Indeed stu, Triple Crown winner Mike Smith is also still riding at 61!

Could probably be achieved in golf. 52 is the current record for actually winning a pro event

one reason golf isnt a sport

52 stone also possible

Report Tiger Tiger September 21, 2026 3:45 PM BST
The former jump jocky Colin Moore was still riding earlier this year I'm almost sure at the age of 83, yes 83! Passes his fitness test every year and just rides on the flat, amateur of course, rides in the Newmarket Plate every year, I'm certain he rode in the race at 80 and havent heard of him retiring.

suppose the ultimate one, was the jockey who actually died while riding a race I believe - not sure but it may have even won..!
Report Tiger Tiger September 21, 2026 3:48 PM BST
He did win Stu, it was only after the horse passed the winning post and pulled up that they realised the jockey had broken his kneck and died.

when you have a horse winning with a dead jockey on it, it really makes you realise the value of jockeys in horse racing! Laugh

im guessing none of you had 20 bar on like i did at 16s,

it's cheating and no one here seems fussed whatsoever.. the winning pole is UNMISTAKABLE just look at it.

it'll go unpunished no doubt. what a game we play.

well done getting 20 mill on

should have laid back your steak when it went short. easy. listowel is renowned for such liquidity
