Nice work...that must have been a monster payout, 9/2, 11/2 and 14/1!

"The man from Streaky Bay does it again"...think if Aussie Jim says that once more I will be provoked into an unpremeditated act of violence on my TV!

Welcome back...
from the racingpost!

GODOLPHIN number two KerrinMcEvoy will have his first rides in two months on Saturday after recovering from head injuries suffered in a fall during Melbourne Cup week.

Former Hong Kong runner Lucky Unicorn is his lead mount for Tony Vasil in the Listed Barton Stakes over 1,400m at Caulfield.

Doctors gave McEvoy medical clearance just before Christmas and he started riding trackwork at the start of January, according to racingandsports.com.au.

"I've been riding work for about 10 days now and I'm looking forward to Saturday," McEvoy said.

McEvoy was in hospital for four days after he suffered bruising to the brain and lacerations when his mount Butterfield and Vie both fell in the Crown Trophy on November 9. "I had a good time off," McEvoy said. "My fitness isn't 100 per cent just yet, but and I'm ready to go to the races again."

McEvoy said his weight had been steady during his enforced layoff and he was comfortable riding at 53kg (about 8st 5lb). "I'm lucky with my weight," he said.

McEvoy, 26, was scheduled to fly back to Dubai to join the Godolphin operation on Monday but will delay those plans to attend the funeral of former jockey Brigid Payne, who died suddenly this week.

Payne's sister Cathy is McEvoy's girlfriend. A date for the funeral hasyet to be finalised.

Absolutely Right, he could be the next Dettori. Nice to see the Aussie back in the winners circle. Is he still going tio ride second call for Goldolphin? Hopefully he will be in the US to ride some of the big turf races later in the year.

yep he is still 2nd jock to Godolphin but rides for Stoute, Brittain etc when available (which is quite a bit at the moment!!)... he is such a stylish guy.. I got into a habit of betting everything he rides each way, and it paid so well last year. Its started well this year with a 7-1 and 15-2 winner from 3 rides.. early days.. I really really love this guy!

Sounds like he good have a great year riding for some big time stables. It sucks here in the states that we don't get much of the great racing form the UK, Ireland and France. But I'll take whatever I can get from TVG and on the
web attheraces.com

From the Times..

When a gifted foreign jockey forges a link with the champion trainer, racecourse gossip inevitably speculates on something more permanent. Kerrin McEvoy, however, insisted yesterday that, while he feels “very fortunate” to be riding winners for Sir Michael Stoute, he remains committed to the rival Newmarket team of Godolphin.

The Australian, starting his fourth British-based summer, took the train north to Newcastle yesterday for a single, winning ride on the Stoute-trained Dan Dare. It was his fifth success for Stoute in a season when he has yet to have a single ride for his retaining yard.

McEvoy is well aware of a spreading impression that he has jumped ship. “People keep asking me if I’ve gone to Sir Michael’s,” he said. “But I want everyone to know I’m still 100 per cent associated with Godolphin and want to do well for them. Last year was below their par and we need the two-year-olds to fly this season.

“With Ryan Moore injured and Robert Winston and Kieren Fallon not around, Mr Stoute is probably short on jockeys. Hopefully I can continue the link, but Godolphin has first call and I’m happy with that – they brought me over and I wouldn’t be riding for Sir Michael Stoute if they hadn’t.”

McEvoy, who rides Lost In Wonder for Stoute in the Cheshire Oaks when the Chester May meeting begins tomorrow, also hopes to remain aboard Adagio, well beaten when favourite for the 2,000 Guineas. “He’s probably looking for a bit further and it’s worth keeping him in mind for the Derby,” he said.

Now how did I miss this last night? too busy studying Im guessing. 50-1, 16-1 and 9-4 winners..The best jockey riding in Britain..
from the post!

KERRIN MCEVOY demonstrated the effectiveness of riding from the front and his ability to pounce from close to the pace as he posted a treble worth 2,817-1 on Bertoliver, Pintle and Greek Well.

On a night when three of the six winners made all, the Australian achieved what had seemed an impossible task in getting Dean Ivory's Bertoliver over to the far rail from his number one stall in the sprint handicap and proceeded to hold everything at bay, holding Phantom Whisper's challenge by a short head.

And on John Spearing's mare, Pintle, McEvoy dictated affairs at his own pace before kicking away in the straight and coming home two and a half lengths clear of Master Pegasus in the mile handicap.

The impeccably-bred Greek Well had been disappointing but he clicked for McEvoy to justify 9-4 favouritism, the Sir Michael Stoute-trained colt beating Le Soleil, thereby rounding-off a memorable night for the man from Streaky Bay.

Ivory plans to take 16-1 chance Bertoliver to York for his hat-trick bid and McEvoy said: "In the mood he was tonight he'd take some stopping. He is very fast, flew out from the one stall and took me to the rail."

William Buick picked-up a two day careless riding back on Monday June 18th and Sunday June 24th for causing interference on Holbeck Ghyll to Saxon Saint.

Pintle was one of the horses that put McEvoy onto the British racing map and McEvoy has a close affection for her.

After the seven-year-old had come home to stoney silence at 50-1, McEvoy added: "She's a very genuine mare who I've ridden a lot. I was surprised by the way she didit."

Spearing commented: "She got him all the publicity a couple of years back. In front is the only place for her to be."

While a number of jockeys paid the price for exaggerated waiting tactics, McEvoy showed the art of being able toquicken from close to the pace on Greek Well who attracted the biggest cheer of the night and sent favourite backers home happy.

The King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot looks sure to figure in the minds of connections of Walking Talking afterhis defeat of odds-on Purple Emperor in the mile and a quarter maiden.

Walking Talking was continuing Henry Cecil's good run of form and the trainer's travelling head lad William Brown said: "The step up in trip was ideal and I imagine he'd want a mile and a half in due course."
Zaahid took a walk in the market before the 7f handicap and looked to be carrying condition. However, in the race itself Martin Dwyer was always comfortable in pole position and the combination pulled three and a half lengths clear of Masai Moon.

Barry Hills's travelling head groom Geoff Snook said the colt had taken plenty of getting fit.

Quote of the night:
"She has no patience, like a lot of women" - John Spearing's comment watching mile handicap winner Pintle pawing the ground after her clear cut triumph - the middle leg of a treble for Kerrin McEvoy

another great year mr. mcevoy... how anyone can consider you a number 2 jockey is crazy!!

Kerrin McEvoy, who rides Purple Moon for Luca Cumani in Saturday's Caulfield Cup, signedoff his British season with a winner, courtesy of Godolphin newcomerShadowy Figure in the mile maiden.

“That is 92, and perhaps I should be staying around to get my century, but I have had a great year, and I've got to head home to prepare for my wedding to Cathy in November,” said the ever-popular McEvoy.

It made me laugh because he said his target was 90 winners this season. Now i'm not being funny, but who targets 90??

the best damn jockey in europe targets 90!!!

this year was his 3rd year showing a profit on level stakes for every ride.. and that was despite riding a lot of michael stoutes short priced horses at the start of the year when moore was injured...

My favourite McEvoy ride of the year was probably Greek Well on Juddmonte International day...
