ANTON MARCUS

It is said that jockeys are only as good as the horses they ride but there are times when jockeys get horses to win that really shouldn’t. That is the talent that Anton displays on so many occasions and it showed again during the month when 77.55% of the horses he rode finished in the money.

From his 49 rides, 18 found the winner’s enclosure and a further 20 ran into the placings which is one of the best records ever posted by a jockey.

His knowledge of pace and the ability to extract the best from his mounts through perfect balance and positioning in a race are talents that place him in a league of his own and worthy of this month’s award.

Well done Anton.
