McDougall to ride through Kranji's last days
The Straits Times
|September 06, 2024
The Kranji gates may be closing soon, but the jockeys' room doors are still open to overseas visitors.
The latest to join the riding ranks is Australian jockey Blaike McDougall, who was granted a Singapore Turf Club licence to ride until the last day on Oct 5.
He is set to make his debut at the Sept 14 meeting.
The 30-year-old will not only be at his maiden Singapore visit, but also at his first overseas stint.
Riding is in his blood given that his father Ron was a jockey, but the New South Wales-born McDougall was a late bloomer.
