KEVIN SHEA

There has never been any doubt that Kevin has been one of the country’s finest riders and his success in races overseas is evidence of his ability to compete and beat some of the best in the world.

“Shezi”, as he is affectionately called, has always been one of the characters in racing but when he throws his leg over a thoroughbred it all becomes very serious and professional and in tight finishes, one of the toughest around.

After years of overseas campaigns with Mike de Kock he has settled back in South Africa and is riding winners on a regular basis.

During the month he rode seven winners and steered another 11 of his mounts into the placings from 28 rides giving him a 25% win strike rate with 64% of his rides finishing in the first four – an excellent performance.

Well done Kevin.
