Best Australian Jockeys

[NoChanceToDance]

Hardly an expert, but I kinda agree with your selections.

Nash is excellent - a jockey you can trust, and will rarely get beaten through jockey error.

Hugh - a fantastic jockey, liked him when he rode in England and a true professional.

Luke - Once again, a very honest jockey, keeps himself to himself and works hard and can't really fault him

Glen - Can't stand him, arrongant and soft. He gave So You Think a great ride in last years cox plate, but also seen him give many shockers. Personally I wouldn't have him on any of my horses.


Out of the others,I really rate Blake Shinn and Craig Newitt. Both give 100% and seem very intelligent jockeys. Michael Rodd wouldn't be too far behind them.

One jockey who doesn't get the recognition he deserves, but always gives 110% and works really hard is a guy named Matt Pumpa. Very underrated, and I'd happily put him up on any horse. He will go anywhere for a ride and is as honest as they come. A name to watch out for.

Jockeys I wouldn't ever use:
Danny Nikolic
Nick Hall
Dean Holland
Steve Arnold
Craig Williams

Mainly down to either their arrongance or how they think they are riding Shergar, no matter what they are on!
