ANTON MARCUS

Anton is one of the country’s leading jockeys that has also held his own on the international stage and as he rides for the most powerful owners in the country, it would be expected that he gets plum rides on top horses.

However, the test of horsemanship and riding ability goes further than just steering a good horse into the winner’s enclosure and Anton has shown he can get many of his rides that do not appear to have a winning chance across the line first.

This month he was again in fine form in finding the winner’s enclosure on 15 of his mounts and getting another 22 into the placings. He won six more races than any other rider and his win-place ratio of 77% was outstanding.

Professional dedication, coupled with outstanding talent, are the keys to his success and earns him the monthly award.

Well done Anton
